Club career
During his club career, Manfredonia played for Italian sides Lazio (1975–85), Juventus (1985–87) and Roma (1987–89), totalling 289 appearances and 15 goals in Serie A. Along with his Lazio teammates, he was found guilty of being involved in the Totonero 1980 match-fixing scandal, and was banned for three years, while Lazio were relegated to Serie B. During his final season with Roma, on 30 December 1989, in an away match against Bologna, played at freezing temperatures (-5 degrees), Manfredonia collapsed after suffering a heart attack; his former Lazio teammate Bruno Giordano was the first to aid him. Although Manfredonia later managed a full recovery, he subsequently retired from football at the age of 33.[1][4][5]
International career
Manfredonia also played four times for the Italy national football team between 1977 and 1978,[2] making his senior international debut in a 3–0 win over Luxembourg on 3 December 1977. He was a member of the 1978 FIFA World Cup squad that managed a fourth-place finish in the tournament.[4][5][6]
Style of play
An athletic, tenacious, versatile, and hard-working player, with good technique, Manfredonia usually played as a defender, either as a sweeper, or as a man-marking centre-back (stopper); he was also capable of playing as a ball-winner in midfield, functioning as a central or defensive midfielder, or even on the left, on occasion.[4][5]
