INFO:
Vanello was an attacking midfielder who grew up at Inter. His professional career began in 1968 on loan at Hellas Verona before coming back to Inter one year later. He played only 8 matches for the Nerazzurri, scoring once, and was sold to Palermo. He had his best time with the Rosanero, playing 151 leagues games and scoring 12 goals ā mostly in Serie B ā from 1970 to 1975. Then he played for Bologna and Sambenedettese. He retired in 1978. He's remembered for being the first player wearing the jersey nĀ° 13 to score in a Serie A, when he was playing at Hellas Verona in a match against Napoli on September 29th 1968: after 10 minutes from his entry he beat Dino Zoff with a diagonal shot from the right.
Considered one of the best playmakers in the history of Palermo, Vanello was a skillful player, gifted with decent dribbling, excellent vision of game and tactical intelligence. He never reached high levels in Serie A because of his anarchic attitude inside and outside the field. He was a good free kick taker and even scored a few penalties during his last season at Palermo but he was also a good crosser both in motion and from dead-ball situations but he rarely put effort, was often insecure and unfocused. He was able to give the ball good effect and one of his first goals was considered by journalists "ala Corso" ā maybe learned during his short time at Inter. Due to his slowness, Palermo fans compared him to dead cat. In fact he didn't like runs and preferred static plays, even though he occasionally pushed towards the goal. He once said in an interview that he could've become an important player at Inter but he never considered football as part of his future.
