Antonio Manicone (born October 27, 1966]) is an Italian professional football manager and a former player, who functioned as a midfielder, both as a defensive midfielder, and as a deep-lying playmaker.

Career

Despite playing for several Italian clubs throughout his career, Manicone spent several years with Serie A side Inter (1992-6), the team with which he began his career for a season in 1985, winning the UEFA Cup with the club in 1994.[1]

During his time with the Milan club, he earned his only international cap for Italy under manager Arrigo Sacchi, in a 3–0 away win over Estonia in a 1994 World Cup qualifying match on 22 September 1993.[2][3]

Following his retirement as a player in 2003, he later pursued a career as a manager. He was an assistant of Vladimir Petković for S.S. Lazio.[4]

Style of play

A quick, efficient, and tactically versatile player, Manicone was capable of operating in several midfield positions, as an advanced playmaker, as a deep-lying playmaker, and also as a defensive midfielder, where he excelled due to his work-rate, physique and ability to break down opposition plays. Due to his technique, vision, and long passing ability, he was capable of creating chances after winning back possession.[5]

Personal life

Manicone's son Carlo Manicone is also a professional footballer who plays for FC Lugano in Switzerland.[6]
