Massimo Filardi (born 20 December 1966) is an Italian former footballer who played primarily as a left-back. He is also known in Italian media for his later work connected to football, including as an intermediary/agent and as a scout. [1][2]
Club career
Filardi was developed in the youth system of Varese and made his senior debut with the club in Serie B in the mid-1980s.[1][3]
In 1985, he joined SSC Napoli and played in Serie A during a period when the club was competing domestically and in Europe.[4][5]
Career records also show subsequent spells in Serie B with Avellino (on loan) and Taranto, followed by a later return to Napoli for the 1991–92 season.[3][2]
Late in his playing career, Filardi also appeared at lower levels, including a season with Benevento in the mid-1990s, before retiring.[3]
International career
Filardi was capped at the youth international level for Italy, including appearances with the Italy under-21 side in the mid-1980s. Match reporting from the U21 competition lists him in Italy's substitutions for a 1986 fixture. [6]
Post-playing career
After retiring as a player, Filardi became involved in football off the pitch, and he has been described in Italian media as a sports agent/intermediary. Italian interview profiles and major sports media have also referenced him in the context of scouting and talent identification. [1][7]
