During 1942–43 season'Associazione Calcio Torino competed in Serie A and Coppa.

Summary

At the start of the 1942–43 season, available to Hungarian András Kuttik,[2] there's a squad that includes top players: experts goalkeepers Bodoira and Cavalli; defenders of expertise such as Ferrini, Ellena and quality like Piacentini and Cassano; in midfield the veterans Baldi and Gallea, with the new Ezio Loik and Mazzola; forward Menti and Ferraris, without forgetting Gabetto and Ossola.

On paper Torino is the team to beat, but the departure is not the best: the Bull is to compete with surprise Livorno. This duel creates a thrilling championship, solved only on the final day when Torino, with a goal of Mazzola, sunk Bari.

Torino also managed to win the Coppa Italia against their "terrible" Venezia of the year before and became the first team to hit the "double".[3][4] The game is played in Milan and the Granata, thanks to a brace from Gabetto and goals from Mazzola and Ferraris II, get the win with a resounding 4–0.

gollark: Apparently by texting numbers you can send payments, on mobile phones. What UTTER IDIOT thought that that was a good and secure idea?

gollark: The phone system is seemingly a weird horrible mess.

gollark: Apparently pirates had the eyepatches to be able to switch to a dark-adapted eye to see belowdecks.

gollark: They totally are. They randomly stop focusing right for some reason. They've apparently got the light sensitive bits and nerves the wrong way round.

gollark: > we probably got fukd because humans have probably been through several genetic bottleneck eventsThat's no excuse for some things like poorly designed eyes which are common to basically all hominids.
