Joseph Cilia (22 October 1937 – 5 August 2017) was a Maltese professional football player and manager.
With Valletta, he won all the titles on offer, to end a period dominated by Sliema Wanderers and Floriana.
He played blinders against foreign teams, including Manchester United (0-1), helping Malta XI gain good results.
[citation needed] Between 1964 and 1971 he emigrated to Australia where he played for Corinthians and Melita FC, for whom he won Footballer of the Year again.
He coached most of the top-flight teams at the time, winning League Championship first with Valletta, from 1983 until 1985, and then all the honours available with Rabat Ajax, for two consecutive seasons.
