Attilio Lombardo (born 6 January 1966) is a retired football player turned manager; he is currently the assistant manager at Torino. Throughout his career he was usually deployed as a wide midfielder, or as an offensive right winger, although he also played as a fullback or wingback on occasion later in his career.
Lombardo played for several Italian clubs throughout his career, and is best known for his two spells with Sampdoria. He is one of the five players to have won the Serie A title with three different teams: Sampdoria, Juventus, and Lazio; the other four players to have managed the same feat are Giovanni Ferrari, Pietro Fanna, Sergio Gori, and Aldo Serena. Lombardo also had a spell in the Premier League with English side Crystal Palace. At international level, Lombardo represented the Italy national football team on 19 occasions, although he was never called up for a major tournament.
During his career, he was given the nicknames "Popeye" due to his appearance, as well as "the Ostrich", because of his physique, pace, stamina, and work-rate; he also stood out for his professionalism and dedication, as well as his resistance to injury. Although not gifted with particularly notable technical ability, he possessed good control when dribbling at speed, and he frequently used his acceleration and agility to beat opponents in one-on-one situations; a versatile team player, he was also known for his accurate crossing ability as a winger, as well as his contribution in front of goal.
