Masetti was considered in the 1930s and 1940s to be one of the strongest goalkeepers, but as a member for the
Italy national team he was merely used as a stand-in for
Gianpiero Combi and
Aldo Olivieri. The team won the World Cups of
1934 and
1938 without Masetti playing in any of the matches. ==Managerial career==
