Manager

Antonello Cuccureddu (born 4 October 1949) is an Italian association football coach and former player who played as a defender. He last managed Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Grosseto in 2014.

A central defender, Cuccureddu spent his club playing career with Brescia (1968–69), Juventus (1969–81, winning six Serie A titles), and Fiorentina (1981–83).

Rather prolific for being a defender (he had a very strong long distance shot), in one League season he managed to score 12 goals (Italian Serie A 1973–74), although in that season he played as a midfielder. His most famous goal in the League was scored at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, facing A.S. Roma in the last match of the 1972–73 Serie A season: with that goal Juventus beat Roma 2–1 and won their 15th domestic title by 1 point over A.C. Milan, who were leading the League until the final match of the season, and finishing 2 points over S.S. Lazio.

At international level, Cuccureddu earned 13 caps for the Italy national football team, and played in the 1978 FIFA World Cup (where he featured in 5 fixtures, including the match against Argentina, won 1–0, and the 3rd place final against Brazil, which Italy lost 1–2).
