Antonio Juliano (Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo juˈljaːno]; 26 December 1942 – 13 December 2023) was an Italian footballer who played as a midfielder. A creative playmaker, he was renowned in particular for his leadership, technical ability, and ball control, as well as for his vision, stamina, and passing range.
Club 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.
International career
Juliano earned 18 caps for the Italy national football team between 1966 and 1974, 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 (wearing the number 10 shirt), 1970 and 1974. 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 1980, and of Diego Maradona, from Barcelona, in 1984.
