Giuliano Giannichedda (born 21 September 1974) is an Italian retired professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
He appeared in 281 Serie A games over the course of twelve seasons (three goals scored), mainly in representation of Udinese and Lazio.
Club career
Born in Pontecorvo, Frosinone, Giannichedda started his senior career with A.S. Sora Calcio 1907 in the fourth division, promoting to the third level at the end of the second of his three years. In the 1995 summer he moved straight to the Serie A with Udinese Calcio, playing an average of 30 league games during his last four seasons at the Stadio Friuli.
Giannichedda signed with S.S. Lazio for the 2001–02 campaign, where he was also regularly played. In 2005 he left the Romans and joined Juventus FC, being part of the squad that was involved in the 2006 Italian football scandal,[1] with the subsequent league relegation; he stayed with the club for 2006–07 nonetheless, helping it win the Serie B championship.
Giannichedda retired in June 2008 at nearly 34 years of age, after one unassuming season with A.S. Livorno Calcio (less than 1/4 of the matches played, team relegation).[2]
International career
Giannichedda gained three caps for Italy in 1999. His debut came on 31 March in a 1–1 home draw against Belarus for the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers.
Giannichedda represented the country at the 1997 Mediterranean Games, which were held on home soil.
