Sergio Battistini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsɛrdʒo battiˈstiːni]; born 7 May 1963) is an Italian former professional association footballer who played as a defender or on occasion as a midfielder. He currently works as an association football manager.

Club career[edit]

Battistini was born in Massa. Throughout his career, he played for several Italian clubs, such as A.C.

On 20 January 1985, in a league match against Udinese Calcio, Battistini suffered an injury and had to be substituted at half-time. His replacement was the legendary Italian defender Paolo Maldini, who made his Milan debut during the same match.[5] Maldini remained at the club until 2009.

Following his retirement as a player after a single season with Spezia in 1997, Battistini pursued a coaching career.[6]

International career[edit]

At international level, Battistini represented the Italy Under-21 side 14 times under Azeglio Vicini, scoring 1 goal; he made his debut in 1981, and later represented his country at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where they managed a fourth-place finish. He made four appearances for the senior Italy national football team, all in 1984, scoring once. He made his international debut under Enzo Bearzot on 4 February 1984 in a 5–0 home win in an international friendly match against Mexico, played in Rome. He scored his only international goal in a 2–0 away win over Canada on 26 May 1984, in Toronto.[7][8]
