Daniele Adani ( Italian pronunciation: [da?nj?ːle a?daːni] ; born 10 July 1974) is an Italian football pundit and former professional footballer who played as a central defender .

Club career [ edit ]

Adani started his career in Serie B with Modena , making his first team debuts at the age of 18. In 1994, he transferred to top level 's Lazio but, after two gameless months, moved to Brescia in November; subsequently, he followed the club's promotion and relegation between the first and second divisions, appearing in nearly 200 official matches.

In 1999, Adani transferred to Fiorentina for 7 billion lire (€3.615 million), [1] winning the Italian Cup in his second season . [2] In 2002, the club faced bankruptcy , and the player signed for Inter Milan on a free transfer . [3] [4] Though he was not regarded as member of the starting lineup, [ according to whom? ] he would be in the starting lineup more times than expected, managing to score two goals during his two-season stint (in away wins against Empoli and Ancona ); he also broke his nose while playing for the Nerazzurri and decided to play with a titanium mask, as Paolo Maldini had done previously. Adani also wore a similar non-metallic mask after he recovered, but dropped it shortly after. [5]

In 2004, Adani returned to Brescia, but left the club in March of the following year, along with Roberto Guana . [6] He joined Ascoli shortly after, appearing in only three games as the Marche side managed to retain its top flight status .

Before retiring from professional football at the age of 34, Adani played two years with Empoli, both in the first division, being regularly used in his first year , as the club qualified to the UEFA Cup , but only in six games in his second , as the club were relegated. [ citation needed ] In 2009, Adani returned to football with amateurs Sammartinese, in Seconda Categoria (ninth level). [7]

International career [ edit ]

Adani received five caps for Italy in four years. [8] His debut came on 15 November 2000, in a 1?0 friendly win with England . [9]

On 27 March 2002, against the same opponent, in another exhibition match, Adani made his second appearance, in a 2?1 win at Elland Road , again as a second-half substitute . [10]

Style of play [ edit ]

Regarded as a promising defender in his youth, Adani was known for his composure on the ball and versatility; although he was usually deployed as a man marking centre-back, he was capable of playing anywhere along the back line. [9] [11]

Coaching career [ edit ]

He obtained UEFA B coaching license in 2008. (third category of the license) [12] In 2010, he got the A license, made him eligible to coach Serie C team or as an assistant head coach in higher divisions. On 19 July 2011, it was announced that he would be the assistant head coach of Serie B team Vicenza , [13] under Silvio Baldini .

TV commentator [ edit ]

In 2010, he started working as a color commentator for Sportitalia . In 2012, he joined Sky Sport (Italy) . After joining RAI as a commentator, during 2022 World Cup quarter finals, Adani compared Lionel Messi with Jesus , saying that the Argentinian is capable of making wine from water. [14]
