Pietro Maiellaro (born 29 September 1963) is an Italian former football player and current manager.
One of his most memorable strikes was a 50-yard looping shot from inside the centre circle which sneaked in just under the bar, much to the horror of Bologna goalkeeper Gianluigi Valleriani, on 24 March 1991.
Maiellaro earned a reputation as an enormously talented playmaker, displaying exceptional ball skills and scoring outstanding goals.
He later moved to A.C. Fiorentina, where he was given the number 10 shirt, although he was not able to repeat his early successes, and faced competition from several other players in his role.
[2] He played for Tigres UANL during the 1995–96 season before retiring and dedicating himself to coaching.
