Giovanni Roccotelli (born 14 May 1952) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a winger.
Roccotelli played for Barletta, Avellino, Torino, Cagliari, Ascoli, Taranto, Cesena, Pescara, Foggia, Nocerina, Casertana, Torres and Selargius. After making his debut with Barletta and spending a season in Serie B with Avellino, he made his debut in Serie A with Torino in 1975, at the age of 22. In 1977, he moved to Ascoli for two seasons, scoring 5 goals in 46 appearances, and helping the club to win promotion during the 1977–78 season; after playing for Taranto, he also won promotion to Serie A with Cesena during the 1980–81 season. In total he made 19 in appearances in Serie A with Torino, Ascoli, and Cesena, and 202 appearances in Serie B with Avellino, Cagliari, Ascoli, Taranto, Cesena, and Foggia, scoring 19 goals. [1]
Roccotelli was called up to the Italy national football team by Enzo Bearzot but was ultimately not capped at that level. [3]
Although he was usually deployed as a winger on the right flank, often wearing the number 7 shirt, Roccotelli was also deployed as a left-back or as a forward on occasion. A talented, creative and skilful right-footed player, he was a powerful striker and passer of the ball, who possessed good technique. Known for his flair, dribbling ability, and his use of feints and tricks on the ball, Roccotelli is credited with popularising the rabona in Italy during the 1970s; at that time, the move was simply called a "crossed-kick", as he placed his right foot behind his left in order to strike the ball. He often used the move on crosses, penalties, long balls, free-kicks, and shots on goal from outside the area. [1] [2] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Pasquale Foggia is an Italian football manager and former player, who played as a left winger or attacking midfielder. A quick and creative player, he was predominantly known for his dribbling skills and his ability to create chances for teammates.
In association football, the rabona is the technique of kicking the football where the kicking leg is crossed behind the back of the standing leg.

During the 1991–92 Serie A, under the guidance of Fabio Capello, Milan completed a remarkable unbeaten season, a run that eventually totalled 58 games. They finished eight points ahead of Serie A runners-up Juventus. However, it was a disappointing season for Internazionale, who could only manage an eighth-place finish, meaning that 1992–93 would bring no European action for them — something which had been a rare occurrence over the last three decades. Defending champions Sampdoria finished sixth and their last chance of European action for the following season was lost when they were beaten by the Spanish champions Barcelona in the final of the European Cup. Bari, Hellas Verona, Cremonese and Ascoli were all relegated.
S.S. Lazio finished in fifth in Serie A and reached the quarter-final in the Coppa Italia. Prior to the season had Lazio with new Chairman Sergio Cragnotti made three important signings, with Paul Gascoigne, Giuseppe Signori and Aron Winter all joining the club.
Associazione Calcio Fiorentina failed to take off under former Brazil national team coach Sebastião Lazaroni, and ended the season in 12th place. The result prompted president Cecchi Gori to sign German star Stefan Effenberg among others for the coming season, also replacing Lazaroni with Luigi Radice. The most significant event in Fiorentina's season was the arrival of Argentine striker Gabriel Batistuta, who was to become Fiorentina's all-time top scorer during his nine years at the club.
In the 1984–1985 season, Torino Calcio competed in Serie A.
Nicola Bellomo is an Italian professional footballer who plays for Serie B club Bari.
S.S.C. Napoli won its first Serie A title with recently crowned World Cup winner Diego Maradona as their most influential player. Central defender Ciro Ferrara got his breakthrough, helping out the team to win the trophy. The two new signings Andrea Carnevale and Fernando De Napoli also proved crucial in the title-winning campaign, which sparked off fanatical celebrations in Naples.
A.S. Roma returned to prominence with a 3rd place in Serie A under returning coach Nils Liedholm. With new signings such as Rudi Völler and Lionello Manfredonia, Roma was able to qualify for international football once again, with playmaker Giuseppe Giannini arguably playing at his very peak, setting a career record 11 league goals from attacking midfield.

The 2015–16 Serie B was the 84th season since its establishment in 1929. A total of 22 teams contested the league: 16 returning from the 2014–15 season, 4 promoted from Lega Pro, and 2 relegated from Serie A. Vacancies created by the bankruptcy of Serie A-relegated Parma and the demotion of Catania to Lega Pro due to match fixing allowed Brescia to remain in the league despite being relegated. Furthermore, Teramo was due to participate to Serie B but due to the allegations for match-fixing, the Courts decided to relegate Teramo in the last place of Lega Pro of the previous season. After the demotion of Catania, Virtus Entella was readmitted into Serie B as the best team of the relegated teams from the previous season. Furthermore, Ascoli was promoted into the championship after finishing second in Lega Pro Group B, second after Teramo before being stripped of the title for the match-fixing scandal.
