Graziano Bini (born 7 January 1955) is an Italian retired professional football player and manager, who played as a defender.
He joined the first team during the 1971–72 season, making his debut on 7 May 1972, in a 0–0 away draw against Sampdoria; he remained with the club until 1985, later being named the team's captain in 1978, and wearing the armband for the next seven seasons, until he left the club.
After struggling with injuries and competing with Riccardo Ferri for a place in the starting line-up during his final season with the club, Bini later joined Genoa, where he remained until his retirement in 1988, spending the last two seasons of his career in Serie B.
[1][2][3] Due to much competition from Facchetti and subsequently Scirea in his position, at international level, Bini only made a single appearance for Italy, which came in a 4–1 unofficial friendly home win against Norway, on 10 February 1975; he also made five appearances with the Under-23 side, and two with the Italy national under-21 football team.
