Fabio Viviani (born 29 September 1966) is an Italian professional football coach and former player, who played as a midfielder.
Viviani was born in Lucca. He played for seven seasons (145 games, 3 goals) in the Serie A for Calcio Como, A.C. Milan and, most notably, Vicenza Calcio.
After winning the 1996–97 Coppa Italia,[1] he reached the semi-final of the 1997–98 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with Vicenza Calcio.[2]
Style of play
Viviani was a versatile and technically gifted midfielder, who possessed good vision. Although primarily a central midfielder, he was also capable of playing in several other roles; during his time at Vicenza, he was used as an attacking midfielder or second striker, as a central defender, and as a left-back under manager Francesco Guidolin.[2]
