Roberto Amodio (born 20 October 1961) is a Director of football and a former Italian footballer.
Club career
Amodio started his career with the Napoli junior team. After a brief stint in Serie C2 with Messina, he returned to S.S.C. Napoli and made his debut with them in Serie A in the 1981-82 season. In the summer of 1983 he was traded to Cavese in Serie B.
His performances for Cavese caught the attention of several Serie A teams which led to his return to Serie A the following season, when he joined Avellino. He quickly became a core team member for Avellino and played for them for 6 seasons, the last of which in Serie B. In 1989 the team decided to sell him.
In 1990, Amodio returned to Serie A after being transferred to Lecce, coached by the legendary Zbigniew Boniek. Once again he performed well, but that season Lecce was relegated to Serie B. He played the following season for Lecce in Serie B, and in 1992 he was transferred to Taranto. After a disastrous season the team was relegated to Serie C1.
In 1993 he was transferred to his hometown team, Serie C1 side Juve Stabia, where he was made team captain. He remained with Juve Stabia until the 1999 season. In his time there, the team reached the playoffs several times, but never gained promotion to Serie B. In subsequent years he continued to play in Campania, first with Avellino again and then with Turris, where he finished his professional career in 2000.
Manager
Amodio served as a Director of football for Sorrento, following which he became administrator and general manager for Juve Stabia. On 10 October 2011 he resigned from his position as manager after receiving a three year ban from football-related activities because of his involvement in the 2011 betting scandal.[1][2][3]
