Fabio Miretti

Fabio Miretti (born 3 August 2003) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Genoa, on loan from Juventus, and the Italy national team.

[14] For the under-23s, he converted his 108th-minute penalty in a 3–2 Coppa Italia Serie C win against Pro Sesto at the opener of the season on 22 August, allowing his team to enter the further round.

[15] Six days after, he scored his first Serie C goal, the opener from the edge of the box of Juventus U23's away match against Pergolettese, eventually won 2–1.

[16] On 10 September, Miretti received his first call up by the first team, by coach Massimiliano Allegri, alongside his U23 teammates Koni De Winter and Matías Soulé for the Serie A match against Napoli of the following day.

[17] His Juventus first-team debut came on 8 December, in a 1–0 UEFA Champions League home win against Malmö FF, coming on as substitute in the 89th minute.

The dream of every kid who comes to Juve[ntus]' youth sector is to make his debut in front of his own fans and in his own stadium.

[21] Additionally, in this match, many Juventus fans criticised Allegri on social media for preferring to adapt full-back Danilo as a midfielder instead of deploying Miretti as a starter against a newly promoted team.

[45][46] On 25 May 2022, Miretti was called up by Italy's coach Roberto Mancini for a training camp in Coverciano after Pietro Pellegri's injury.

[47] He debuted for Italy U21 on 6 June in a 3–0 victory against Luxembourg in the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, playing the entire match and providing a 54th-minute assist to Gianluca Gaetano, who made it 3–0.

[53] On 20 November, aged 19, he made his Italy senior debut as a late substitute for Nicolò Barella in a friendly match lost against Austria in Vienna.

[10] The website Numero Diez described him as a flexible, technical and dynamic midfielder who features excellent vision, precision, speed of thought and ball control, who can also use his weak foot.

[10] Goal.com and TUTTOmercatoWEB added that his qualities were also dribbling and passing, shooting, eye for the goal and insertion which allow him to set up his teammates with assists.

[59] His idol is former Juventus' midfielder Pavel Nedvěd and his reference point is Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne for his role and characteristics.

[61] He attended Juventus in-house Liceo Scientifico con indrizzo sportivo (Scientific high school with sports focus).
