Giampaolo Menichelli (Italian pronunciation: [dʒamˈpaːolo meniˈkɛlli]; born 29 June 1938) is a former Italian footballer, who played as a winger. Menichelli was a fast, agile winger, with good technical ability, and he was known for mainly being a team player, despite also having an eye for goal.[1][2][3] His brother Franco was an Olympic champion in gymnastics.

Club career

Menichelli played for 12 seasons (261 games, 60 goals) in the Serie A for A.S. Roma, A.C. Parma, Juventus FC, Brescia Calcio and Cagliari Calcio. Whilst at Roma, he formed a notable partnership with fellow winger Alberto Orlando,[4] winning the 1960–61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[5] With Juventus he won the Coppa Italia over Herrera's "Grande Inter" during the 1964–65 season, finishing the competition as top scorer, with 3 goals,[6] also reaching the final of the 1964–65 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, only to lose 1–0 to Ferencváros in Turin.[1][2][3][7] He also won the 1966–67 Serie A title during his six seasons in Turin, scoring an impressive 11 goals in 33 appearances during the league winning season.[1][2][3][7]

International career

Menichelli also represented the Italy national football team during the 1960s; in total, he earned 9 caps for Italy between 1962 and 1964, scoring a single goal for Italy in a 3–1 away win against Belgium on 13 May 1962.[8] He participated in the 1962 FIFA World Cup with Italy, making two appearances against Germany and Chile as Italy were rather disappointingly eliminated in the group stage.[1][9]
