Massimo Drago (born March 2, 1971) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player.

Playing career

Born in Crotone, Drago started his career at hometown club Kroton in the Serie C2 league. In 1990–91 he had a short stint at Serie B level with Avellino, in what was his highest point as a footballer. He successively played at Serie C1, Serie C2 and Serie D level with a variety of teams before retiring in 2004.

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Drago joined Crotone’s coaching staff in 2005 as a youth coach for the Giovanissimi (under-15) level. In 2008, he was promoted as technical collaborator for the first team, and was successively named as assistant coach to Leonardo Menichini in 2011. After the latter’s dismissal as head coach, Drago was then promoted new head coach of Crotone in January 2012, successfully guiding the Calabrian club to safety in the 2011–12 Serie B and being successively appointed as permanent manager by the end of the season.

Drago was successively admitted to the UEFA Pro Licence course due to his role as manager of a Serie B club in December 2012. Under his tenure, Crotone achieved a twelfth place in the 2012–13 season and, then, an impressive sixth place in the 2013–14 Serie B, the best result in the club history to date, thus qualifying to the promotion playoffs (then lost to Bari).

On 4 February 2019, Drago was appointed as the manager of Reggina. The adventure at Reggina ended after only 9 games. He was fired after a defeat to Sicula Leonzio on 4 April 2019, after only managing to get 9 points in 9 games.

A very successful producer, Robert Evans turned Paramount Studios around in the late 60s and 70s, producing such films as “Barefoot in the Park”, “Rosemary’s Baby”, “The Godfather”, and “The Great Gatsby”. His career spanned nearly 60 years. He was born Robert Shapera on June 29, 1930 in New York City, New York. His career was launched in November 1956 after being spotted by Canadian actress Norma Shearer next to the pool at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Norma recommended Evans for the role of her late husband, Irving Thalberg, in “Man of a Thousand Faces”. That same year Evans was also cast as Pedro Romero in the 1957 film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises”. Evans was determined to become a producer and got his start at Paramount by purchasing the rights to a 1966 novel entitled “The Detective” (1968), which he turned into a movie starring Frank Sinatra, Lee Remick, Jack Clugman, Robert Duvall and Jacqueline Bisset. To satisfy Evans’ desire to produce indie films, Evans went on to later strike a deal with Paramount that enabled him to stay on as studio head, but also work as an independent producer. In 1980, Evans was convicted of cocaine trafficking and entered a guilty plea. As part of his plea bargain he filmed an anti-drug TV commercial. As Head of Production at Paramount, Evans’ film credits include such huge hits as “Barefoot in the Park”, “True Grit”, “Harold and Maude” and “The Great Gatsby”.
