Riccardo Maniero (born 26 November 1987) is an Italian footballer who plays as a forward for Serie D club Savoia.

Maniero began his youth career with Juventus in the late 1990s,[citation needed] and was promoted to the Primavera reserve team in 2005.

In June 2007, Maniero was not part of Claudio Ranieri's first team plans and so, he was loaned out to Ascoli, together with fellow Juventus youth player Andrea Luci.

While Lanzafame and Bianco established themselves well with the club, Maniero failed to settle and gain regular action, as the attacker made zero official appearances in six months with the biancorossi.

[5] Maniero had a successful season with the Lega Pro Prima Divisione side, establishing himself as a starter and scoring 12 goals in 31 league appearances.
