Antonio Manicone

Despite playing for several Italian clubs throughout his career, Manicone spent several years with Serie A side Inter (1992–96), the team with which he began his career for a season in 1985, winning the UEFA Cup with the club in 1994. During his time with the Milan club, he earned his only international cap for Italy under manager Arrigo Sacchi, in a 3–0 away win over Estonia in a 1994 World Cup qualifying match on 22 September 1993. Following his retirement as a player in 2003, he later pursued a career as a manager. He was an assistant of Vladimir Petković for S.S. Lazio.

Manicone was a versatile midfielder who was deployed in several roles, including as an advanced playmaker, as a deep-lying playmaker, and also as a defensive midfielder. He was noted for his work rate, physicality, and ability to regain possession, as well as his vision and long passing, which enabled him to initiate attacking plays.

Manicone's son Carlo Manicone is also a professional footballer who plays for FC Lugano in Switzerland. His nephew, Lorenzo Malagrida, is also a professional footballer.
