Massimiliano Vieri (born 1 September 1978) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker.[1] He is in charge as assistant youth coach for Fiorentina Under-18. Born in Sydney to Italian parents, he won six caps for the Australia national team between 2004 and 2005.

Biography

[edit]

Vieri is the son of player Roberto Vieri and brother of Italian star Christian Vieri.[2] He was born in Sydney where he grew up and attended Patrician Brothers' College, Fairfield. In 1996 he and his family relocated to Italy.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Vieri was sold to Brescello in co-ownership deal for 30 million lire (€15,494) in 1999.[4] In 2000 Juventus bought back Vieri for undisclosed fee (his brother Christian had also previously played for the club during the 1996–97 Serie A season). Vieri was loaned to Ancona for 100 million lire (€51,646) in 2000–01 season[5] and again in 2001–02 season.[6] In 2002 Vieri joined Verona as part of the deal of Mauro Camoranesi. Vieri's 50% registration rights was valued 1 billion lire at that time (€516,457). In June 2003 Juventus bought back Vieri for €516,457 and bought Camoranesi outright for €5 million. In July 2003 Vieri left for S.S.C. Napoli for €500,000.[7] In June 2004 Juventus gave up the player's remaining 50% registration rights.[2][8]

After leaving Napoli in 2004, he later had a season-long spell with Ternana, followed by half-season spells with Triestina and Arezzo. In July 2007, he was signed by Lecco, after spending the previous season with Novara.[9][10] After a season at the club, he joined Prato in 2008. In July 2012, he was released by the club.[2][9]

International career

[edit]

Vieri made his international debut for Australia against Turkey in a friendly match in 2004. He received his final international call-up in 2005, totalling six appearances for his country.[2][8]

Post-playing career

[edit]

In July 2017, he joined Empoli as assistant coach to Lamberto Zauli for the Primavera Under-19 youth team.[11]
