A central midfielder with a high work rate, Tuttino's playing style has sometimes been compared to that of the contemporary male footballer Gennaro Gattuso.[3]

International career

Tuttino made her senior debut for Italy on 13 February 2002, in a 2–0 friendly win over the Netherlands.[4]

A cruciate ligament injury caused a disappointed Tuttino to miss UEFA Women's Euro 2005.[5] She appeared in her first major championships at UEFA Women's Euro 2009, where she scored the winning goal in the first match of the tournament against England.[6]

National coach Antonio Cabrini named Tuttino in his selection for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[7] Italy were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Germany, as they had been in 2009.

However, she finished her international career with 133 appearances and 10 goals.[8]
