in 1990 and then moved to Milan
in July 1993. Panucci later moved to Real Madrid
(becoming the first Italian to play for the Spanish club), Internazionale, Chelsea
(on loan, scoring once in the UEFA Cup against St Gallen), and AS Monaco
before moving to A.S. Roma
in 2001. He won the Champions League
with both Milan and Madrid. In those two stops, as well as Roma, he was coached by Fabio Capello
.
Panucci, a reliable leader both on and off the field, has often taken the responsibility to speak for the team in moments of difficulty, as seen after Roma's shock elimination from the UEFA Champions League
in 2007. In January 2009, Panucci was dropped from Roma's first team squad after refusing to sit on the bench for a league match against S.S.C. Napoli
, and was later also excluded from the UEFA Champions League roster. He then announced his intention to leave Roma, but no serious bidder was found in the January transfer window and he ultimately stayed, returning to the first team on 28 February after he apologised to his fellow players and the club management. He was sent off in the second Rome derby of the 2008-09 season after a heated on-pitch clash with Lazio player Stephan Lichtsteiner
following his hard challenge on the Swiss defender. His contract with Roma ended on 30 June 2009, which he had signed in October 2005.
He played a total of 311 matches scoring 29 goals for AS Roma, becoming the highest-scoring defender in the club's history.
on a one-year deal and scored his first goal for Parma on 13 December against Bologna. On 23 February 2010, Panucci left Parma by mutual consent seven months after joining them.
On 22 August Panucci announced his immediate retirement from football citing; “I had offers, but I just don’t feel the hunger anymore.”
in a UEFA Euro 1996 qualifying match. However, he missed out on the final squad following a dispute with Italian national coach Arrigo Sacchi
and was not a regular in the Italian national team
until the 2002 FIFA World Cup
. He has 48 caps and two goals as of the end of 2004. He has represented his country at the 2002 FIFA World Cup
and UEFA Euro 2004.
In the 2002 FIFA World Cup
, Panucci was widely blamed for failing to clear a pass that led to the equalizing goal for South Korea by Seol Ki-Hyun in the dying minutes of the round of 16 match.
Panucci had not played for Italy for over three years after Euro 2004 in Portugal
, having been ignored by Marcello Lippi
, with whom he had fallen out with in his days at Inter, for the period of the 2006 World Cup. However, the 34 year-old was given a second chance by coach Roberto Donadoni
, who called him up for the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers against Georgia
, Scotland
, and the Faroe Islands
.
Panucci then expressed his delight at earning his 50th Italy cap in the stadium where he began his career for the Azzurri in the 2-0 win over Georgia in their Euro 2008 qualifying tie in Genoa
. Panucci came through the port club's youth ranks before joining A.C. Milan
in 1993.
Panucci currently has 57 caps for the Azzurri, with four goals. He managed to score his first international goal for Italy since April 2002, when he headed a crucial injury-time winning goal against Scotland on 17 November 2007 in their Euro 2008 qualifying Group B match. Italy then managed to clinch their place at the European Championship finals.
On 13 June 2008, Panucci scored Italy's first goal against Romania
at the Euro 2008 and became the oldest player to score in outfield play in the competition.
