Career

Vincenzo D'Amico was born on November 5, 1954 in Latina , a planned city built just a little over twenty years earlier during the time of fascism in Italy. After starting out in local football in Latina, he soon moved to the youth department of Lazio Rome . In 1971, at the age of 17, he was coached by Juan Carlos Lorenzo in the squad of the fighting team, which was relegated at the end of the 1970/71 season without D'Amico being used in the league. He made his debut under new coach Tommaso Maestrelli in February 1972 in series B . That was his only game this season, but it was a contribution to promotion. IN the 1972/73 season he did not play a league game. From the 1973/74 season , however, D'Amico established himself as an absolute regular in the team that was in first place in Serie A with a lead of two points over defending champion Juventus Turin after the end of all game days , which was the first championship title in the long History of Lazio meant. Vincenzo D'Amico completed 27 out of thirty possible games over the course of the season and contributed two goals to the championship. Even after that successful season, the midfielder remained a regular in the Lazio team, which, however, slipped more and more into the bottom third of the table. D'Amico stayed with Lazio Rome until 1980 and completed a total of 155 league games with sixteen goals for his employer in nine years.

After the relegation of Lazio Rome from Serie A in the course of the Totonero scandal in 1980, Vincenzo D'Amico left the club and went to Torino Calcio for a year . There he made 26 league games (one hit) and moved his club into the final of the Coppa Italia 1980/81 . There Torino was defeated by AS Roma on penalties in the second leg. Vincenzo D'Amico was only used in the first leg of the finals, he came in the 67th minute for Paolino Pulici .

After this one year Vincenzo D'Amico left Torino Calcio again and returned to Lazio Rome. Lazio was now sunk in the depths of Serie B and was unable to return to the first division in a timely manner. It was not until 1983 that the club was promoted again after the second place in Serie B, only behind AC Milan , was occupied. Vincenzo D'Amico was involved in 34 of 38 league games. After promotion, Lazio managed to stay relegated in the first year, but in 1985 had to go back to Serie B.

After the end of the season he played three more games for New York Cosmos . Cosmos like Lazio were then under the control of former Lazio striker Giorgio Chinaglia . After games against the reigning World Cup winner CA Independiente (2: 2) from Buenos Aires and the Portuguese runner-up Sporting Lisbon (2: 1), Cosmos lost 2-1 to Lazio on June 16 in Giants Stadium . Five minutes before the end of the game, D'Amico scored the last goal in the history of Cosmos with a penalty, which ended with a proper fight between the two teams after the end of the game.

Lazio only finished twelfth in Serie B the following season. D'Amicos scored again in ten games. Adding up both periods, he had 276 appearances in the league for Lazio Rome, with a total of forty goals.

D'Amico joined the fourth division Ternana Calcio in the summer of 1986 , where he played active football for two years. In the C2 series he came to 56 missions, where he acted in the storm at Ternana and not as in the rest of the majority of his career in midfield.
