Gian Filippo Felicioli is a Cittadella player

Hours after the departure of long serving left back Amedeo Benedetti, Cittadella have gotten their replacement as Gian Filippo Felicioli joins the Granata.

Signed as a free agent, Filippo Felicioli spent last season on loan at Ascoli from Venezia. Injuries were a problem as he would only see the pitch seven times for I Picchi. Venezia terminated the fullback’s contract this summer, leaving him free to sign with anyone.

Flippo Felicioli is a product of AC Milan’s youth academy, and has been on loan to multiple clubs such as Ascoli, Hellas Verona, and Perugia in his career.

The signing for Cittadella couldn’t have came at a better time. As one left back goes out the door, another one comes in. The player was announced live at the opening ceremony at Piazza Pierobon on Friday night.
