Angelo Alessio

Angelo Alessio (born 29 April 1965 in Capaccio) is an Italian football manager and former player.

Playing career A central midfielder, Alessio started his professional career with then-Serie A club Avellino in 1984. He was then signed by Italian powerhouse Juventus in 1987, with whom he played until 1992 (except for a season loan at Bologna in 1988–89), winning a Coppa Italia–UEFA Cup double in 1990. In January 2019 he confirmed his intention to start a career of his own as a head coach, thus effectively ending his long-time collaboration with Conte.

On 10 June 2021, Alessio was named head coach of Liga 1 club Persija Jakarta.

Style of play A versatile player, Alessio was known for his willingness to play not only anywhere in midfield, but also in almost any position across the entire pitch. Usually deployed as a central midfielder, he was also frequently played as a second striker during his time with Avellino.
