International Debut 06/09/1995 v Slovenia (won 1-0)
Angelo Di Livio began his career with AS Roma, but he did not play a match for them. After several years in the Italian lower Leagues, the industrious midfielder joined Juventus. He made his Serie A debut in 1993 against Roma. He remained with Juventus until the 1998/1999 season, winning three Italian league titles, a Coppa Italia, two Italian Super Cups, the UEFA Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. In 2001 Di Livio won the Coppa Italia with Fiorentina. Late starter in international terms. Caught Sacchi's eye in title-winning Juventus team in 1995 after being a regular with AS Roma. A surprise call-up into Dino Zoff?s preliminary 26-man squad for EURO 2000?. He found it hard-going breaking into the first team, so before he had even made his Serie A debut he was shipped off to Reggiana AC in Serie C1. Di Livio then spent nine season in the lower reaches of the Italian league, never reaching higher than Serie B while appearing, at various times, for US Nocerina, AC Perugia and Padova Calcio. His big break came in 1993 when he was transferred to Italian giants Juventus FC. Few expected him to possess the necessary class to survive in Serie A, but, once he was given the opportunity of a first team place, Di Livio confounded his critics with a series with a series of battling displays that earned him the nickname "Little Soldier". A strong runner and tackler with fearsome commitment and heart, Di Livio is also an adept crosser of the ball. A three-times Serie A winner with Juventus, Di Livio is equally as comfortable as a wing-back or midfielder.
