Playing career
editClub
editRoberto Filippi played in Serie A with Bologna, Lanerossi Vicenza, Napoli and Cesena.[5]
International
editDespite his ability and performances at club level, Filippi was never capped for the Italy national football team, and he is considered one of Italy's greatest players to have never played for the national side.[6]
Style of play
editA highly recognisable player due to his trademark long haircut, Filippi was a small yet energetic midfielder with a light, slender build, but who was known for his consistency, as well as his outstanding stamina, tireless runs in midfield, and work-rate, which enabled him to cover the pitch effectively. He usually played as a central or defensive midfielder, where he functioned as a ball-winner, although he also possessed good feet in spite of his playing role.[6]
Management career
editFilippi managed Treviso, Pro Gorizia, Luparense, Piovese, Thermal Abano, and Campodarsego.[3][7]
