Roberto Tricella (born 18 March 1959) is a former Italian footballer who played as a defender. He was most frequently deployed as a sweeper throughout his career.[1]

Career

Club

Tricella was born at Cernusco sul Naviglio, near Milan. During his club career he played for Inter (1977–79), Hellas Verona (1979–87), Juventus (1987–90), and Bologna (1990–92). With Inter, he made his Serie A debut, also winning the 1977-78 Coppa Italia. He later moved to Serie B club Hellas Verona, and during the 1984-85 Serie A season, he notably captained Osvaldo Bagnoli's Verona to an historic Serie A victory.[2] He later transferred to Juventus as a replacement for Gaetano Scirea, and during his final season with the club, he was able to capture a Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup double as the club's captain, under manager Dino Zoff.[3]

International

Tricella earned 11 caps for the Italy national football team from 1984 to 1987, and he was included in Italy's 1986 FIFA World Cup squad under Enzo Bearzot, although he did not play in the tournament, serving as Gaetano Scirea's backup in the libero role. Under Bearzot's successor, manager Azeglio Vicini, he also received little space due to the presence of Franco Baresi on the team.[3] He also competed for Italy at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where the team finished in fourth place after a semi-final defeat.[4][5]
