Career

Player

A tough defender formed in the AC Milan youth system, Biffi made his professional debut with the Rossoneri during their 1982-1983 Serie B season, scoring a total of four first-team caps.

He then played for several Serie B and C teams before joining Palermo in 1988. He served a total of eleven seasons, all between Serie B and Serie C1, with the rosanero, often captaining his side. He left Palermo in 1999 at 34, after 319 appearances with the Sicilian side, which made him the player with the highest number of appearances with the rosanero jersey. He retired in 2005 after two seasons with Sanremese, without having ever played a single Serie A match.

Coach

In the summer of 2007, Roberto Biffi started a coaching career, being appointed at the helm of Serie D team Sanremese. He was, however, sacked only a few months later, in November, following a string of poor results. [1]

He then started the 2008–09 season serving as head coach of Savona, another Ligurian Serie D team, [2] but was fired on September 2008 after only six games, in which he managed to achieve only four points. [3]

He also briefly worked as an assistant coach for Bulgarian Botev Plovdiv in 2009.

From 10 February 2012 to the end of the season, he was the last coach of the club of Imperia Calcio, in Eccellenza Liguria.

He successively served as head coach of several amateur clubs in Liguria, such as Loanesi (Promozione Liguria), Sestrese, Ospedaletti and Alassio (Eccellenza). In December 2023, he returned to Savona, in the Prima Categoria league. [4]
