Guglielmo Stendardo (born 6 May 1981) is an Italian football coach and former player, who played as a central defender.
He is currently in charge as head coach of Eccellenza amateurs LUISS.
Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Stendardo began his career at Napoli in 1997 and has played for a number of top Italian football clubs, including Sampdoria, Lazio, and Juventus, as well as early spells with Salernitana and Perugia; during his time with the latter club, he was sent on loan to Catania for the 2003–04 season.[2]
Journeyman: Lazio, Juventus return and Lecce
[edit]Stendardo was signed by S.S. Lazio in August 2005 on a free transfer. His previous club A.C. Perugia, went bankrupt at the start of the 2005–06 season. After a 3–2 defeat to Juventus in late 2007, Stendardo had a falling-out with Lazio manager Delio Rossi and demanded a transfer during the January 2008 transfer window.[2]
In January 2008, Juventus officially announced the signing of Stendardo[3] to a 6-month loan deal, for €400,000,[4] with an option to buy him outright in the summer. On 1 September he was loaned to Lecce in a one-year deal,[5] and spent the 2008–09 season with the Giallorossi with little success, as the side went relegated to Serie B.
Stendardo then returned to Lazio at the end of the season,[2] and played 33 Serie A games for the club during the next 2 seasons.
Atalanta
[edit]After making no appearances in 2011–12, he left for Atalanta in January 2012, on loan until June.[6][7] In August, he was bought outright by La Dea.[8][9]
Coaching career
[edit]In August 2021, Stendardo took over on his first role as a first team manager, coaching Eccellenza amateurs LUISS, the football branch of the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli.[10]
Style of play
[edit]Despite his lack of pace or notable technical skills, Stendardo has made a name for himself as a large, tall, physically strong and tenacious central defender.[2][11]
Personal life
[edit]Stendardo's brother, Mariano, is also a footballer. During his playing career, Guglielmo managed to obtain a law degree;[11] in December 2012, he was the source of controversy when he pulled out of a Coppa Italia match against Roma in order to sit an exam in Salerno for his law degree, and was subsequently fined by Atalanta.[12][13]
