Antonio Juliano (born 1 January 1943) is a former Italian footballer who played as a midfielder.[1] A dedicated, hardworking, influential, and creative technical playmaker, he was renowned in particular for his leadership, technical ability, and ball control, as well as for his outstanding vision, stamina, and passing range.[2]
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.[1]
Juliano earned 18 caps for the Italy national football team between 1966 and 1974,[1] 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,[3] 1970[4] and 1974.[5] 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 1978, and of Diego Armando Maradona, from Barcelona, in 1984.
