Stefano Torrisi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsteːfano torˈriːzi]; born 7 May 1971) is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender.[2]
Club career
Born in Ravenna, Torrisi played for Italian clubs Modena, Ravenna Calcio, Reggiana, Torino, Bologna, Reggina, and Parma throughout his career, and also had spells in Spain and France with Atlético Madrid and Marseille respectively. During his time with Reggiana he was briefly sold to Milan in the summer of 1994, but only featured in friendly matches for the club before being sold to Torino in June.[2][3][4][5][6]
International career
Along with two other debutants, Giampiero Maini and Eusebio Di Francesco, Torrisi was named in Italy's squad for 1997 Tournoi de France under manager Cesare Maldini.[7][8] At the tournament he made his first and only appearance for the national team in a 2–2 draw with France.[9][10]
Style of play
Torrisi was a versatile and reliable defender, who was capable of playing both as a sweeper (a position which he occupied in his early career) and as a centre-back (a position in which he played in his later career), due to his good technique and ability in the air.[11]
After retirement
Following his retirement, Torrisi worked as a pundit and later also played amateur football with Loops Ribelle in the Prima Categoria, winning the division title. He subsequently even took part in an over-40 Senior Tour tennis tournament in Turkey.[4]
