Luigi Turci

Luigi Turci (born 27 January 1970) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

However, following the arrival of Francesco Antonioli from A.S. Roma in 2003, Turci was forced to become the second choice goalkeeper, and made just five appearances in the next two seasons.

In 2005, he joined Cesena in Serie B for whom he played 62 league games before hanging up his boots in 2007.

Throughout his career, Turci played a total of 271 Serie A games between 1993 and 2004.
