Manuela Giugliano

During her first season with Roma, and largely owed to her performances with Italy during the 2019 World Cup, Giugliano won Italian football's Female Player of the Year award at the 2019 Gran Galà del Calcio.

Currently, Roma is Giugliano's first and only club in her senior career where she has chosen to stay longer than 12 months, going as far as to sign a three-year contract extension in August 2020.

Giugliano was called up to be part of the Italy U17 for the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, where she played six games and scored three goals.

In an April 2020 interview with Marco Migaleddu, Giugliano claimed her World Cup performance against Brazil in the group stage won her many loyal Brazilian fans who still follow her career today.
