Antonio Juliano (Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo juˈljaːno]; 26 December 1942[1] – 13 December 2023) was an Italian footballer who played as a midfielder.[2] A creative playmaker, he was renowned in particular for his leadership, technical ability, and ball control, as well as for his vision, stamina, and passing range.[3]
Club career
Juliano played the majority of his club career with Napoli (1962–78), winning the Coppa delle Alpi in 1966, and the Coppa Italia and the Anglo-Italian League Cup in 1976. He finished his playing career after a season with Bologna, retiring in 1979, after helping the club to avoid relegation.[2]
International career
Juliano earned 18 caps for the Italy national football team between 1966 and 1974,[2] and was a member of the championship-winning team of Euro 68. He was also in the Italian squad for three World Cup finals: 1966 (wearing the number 10 shirt),[4] 1970[5] and 1974.[6] However, he played only one World Cup match, the 4–1 defeat by Brazil in the 1970 final, after coming on as a substitute.
After retirement
After retiring, he returned to Napoli as a sporting director, a role in which he oversaw the acquisitions of Ruud Krol in 1980, and of Diego Maradona, from Barcelona, in 1984.
