Nicolò Armini (born 7 March 2001) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie C Group C club Potenza.[1][2]

Club career[edit]

Lazio[edit]

Armini is a youth product of Lazio, whom he joined from Santa Maria delle Mole.[3] Considered one of the club's most promising prospects, he has been compared to Lazio legend Alessandro Nesta.[4]

On 29 November 2018, Armini made his professional debut in a UEFA Europa League game against Apollon Limassol. He came on as a substitute for Felipe Caicedo as his team lost 2–0.[5] On 20 May 2019, Armini made his first Serie A appearance, coming into play instead of Luiz Felipe, who came off due to an injury, in a match against Bologna which ended in a 3–3 draw.[6][7]

Piacenza (loan)[edit]

On 10 August 2021 he joined Piacenza on loan.[8] He made his debut for the club on 29 August in a Serie C match against Trento which finished 0–0.[9]

Potenza[edit]

On 27 July 2022, Armini was loaned to Potenza in Serie C.[10]

On 23 August 2023, Armini returned to Potenza on a permanent basis and signed a two-year contract.[11]

International career[edit]

With the Italy U17 team, Armini participated in the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in England. A starter in central defense throughout the tournament, he took part in all of his team's six games. He even appeared as team captain in the semi-final, which was won over Belgium.[12] Italy eventually lost to the Netherlands in the final after a penalty-shootout. Armini was subsequently included in the UEFA team of the tournament.[13]

With the under-18 team, Armini appeared as captain five times, and scored a goal against Slovenia in August 2018.[14]

With the under-19 team, he participated in the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Armenia. He only took part in one match during this competition, against the hosts Armenia, where the Italians won by a large margin of 4–0.[15]
