Luciano Favero (born 11 October 1957) is a former Italian footballer who played as a defender. A well-rounded, tacticlaly intelligent, and versatile defender, Favero was capable of playing anywhere along the back-line, although he was usually deployed as a centre-back. He stood out for his strength and powerful physical attributes throughout his career.[1]
Career
Throughout his career, Favero played for Milanese (1975-76), Messina (1976-77), Salernitana (1977-78), Siracusa (1978-80), Rimini (1980-81), Avellino (1981-84), Juventus (1984-89), and Verona (1989-91), where he ended his career. In 1984, Juventus purchased him as a replacement for legendary defender Claudio Gentile, who had recently been sold to Fiorentina, forming a formidable defensive line-up alongside Antonio Cabrini and Gaetano Scirea. Favero played for Juventus between 1984 and 1989, and was notably a part of their European Cup victory in 1985, also winning a Serie A title, an Intercontinental Cup, and a European Super Cup during his time with the club.[2][1]
Despite his success at club level, Favero, along with his Juventus defensive team-mate Sergio Brio, never made an appearance for the Italian national side.[3]
