Anthony Di Lallo (born 14 September 1988) is a Belgian former professional footballer who serves as sporting director of Belgian Provincial Leagues club Jemappes.

A forward, he began his professional career in the Netherlands with MVV and Fortuna Sittard before moving to Belgium, where he spent the peak years of his career in the Belgian Second Division with Roeselare and Antwerp. Following spells at a series of lower-division clubs, he joined Jemappes in 2025, but a serious injury early in the season ended his playing career and led to his appointment as the club's sporting director. Di Lallo is a former Belgium youth international.

MVV

Di Lallo began his professional career in the Netherlands with Eerste Divisie club MVV, making his debut on 21 August 2006 as a 73rd-minute substitute for Damien Miceli in a 1–0 loss to Dordrecht.[1] He scored his first professional goal in the following match, netting in a 6–1 away win over Eindhoven after coming on as a 66th-minute substitute for Aziz Moutawakil.[2]

In January 2009, MVV suspended Di Lallo after he spat in the direction of head coach Fuat Çapa during a friendly against PSV.[3] He was reinstated two months later.[4]

Fortuna Sittard

On 17 July 2009, Di Lallo signed a two-year contract with Fortuna Sittard.[5] He made his debut for the club as a starter in a 4–0 home defeat to Helmond Sport on the opening matchday of the 2009–10 season.[6] He spent two seasons at Fortuna, scoring six goals in 68 appearances.[7]

Roeselare

Di Lallo joined Belgian Second Division club Roeselare in the summer of 2011.[8] He scored on his competitive debut for the club on 17 August 2011, converting a penalty in a 1–1 away draw against Boussu Dour Borinage on the opening matchday of the 2011–12 season.[9] He had a productive season, scoring 14 goals in 34 appearances. Over three seasons with the club, he scored 29 goals in 97 appearances.[7]

Antwerp

In June 2014, Di Lallo signed with league rivals Antwerp.[10] He made his debut for the club on 2 August, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Seraing United.[11] On 6 February 2015, he scored his first and only goal for The Great Old, converting a penalty in a 4–1 league loss to Eupen.[12] While he was a regular in his first season at the club, he made only one appearance in the first half of the 2015–16 season following the appointment of head coach David Gevaert.[7] As a result, he was loaned to Belgian Third Division club UR La Louvière Centre for six months in January 2016.[13]

Later career

On 31 May 2016, Di Lallo signed a two-year contract with recently promoted third-tier club Sporting Hasselt in the Belgian First Amateur Division.[14] He scored three goals in 24 appearances during his sole season at the club. He then spent the following years at various lower-division clubs, playing for Rebecq, Wanze/Bas-Oha [nl], Jehay, Union Rochefortoise, and AS Morlanwelz.[15][16][17][18][19]

In July 2023, Di Lallo joined Saint-Ghislain Tertre-Hautrage [nl] (USGTH), a club in the Belgian Provincial Leagues, and helped secure promotion to the Belgian Division 3 in his first season.[20][21]

In July 2025, Di Lallo joined USC Jemappes in the Belgian Provincial Leagues. A serious injury sustained early in the 2025–26 season brought his playing career to a close; his final appearance came in August 2025. He subsequently took on the role of sporting director at the club, saying the position allowed him to "compensate for what I was unable to contribute as a player on the pitch."[22]

International career

Di Lallo is a former Belgium youth international, having represented his country at under-15, under-16, and under-17 levels.[23]
