INFO:
Maggio is a right wing back or side back, capable of playing as side midfielder. He spent his best time at Napoli, where he made 308 appearances from 2008 to 2018, scoring 23 goals. He played also for Vicenza ─ team where he started his career and he signed for in 2022 ─ Fiorentina, Treviso, Sampdoria, Benevento and Lecce. He capped for Italy in 34 occasions.
Arguably one of the best side backs in Italy during the 2010s, Maggio is an offensive minded player, dynamic, hardworking and tenacious. Mostly right-footed but accurate with the left foot too, he's gifted with remarkable technique, good distribution and an excellent crossing ability. He has good speed on the distance that allows him to threat the opposing goal with superb attacking runs down the flank. Moreover, he can find the right space due to his movements either on the side to deliver a cross or in the box in order to receive the ball and attempt to score given that he has an eye for goal as well as good heading ability and great jump. Also capable in the defence, he's always showed plenty of stamina, fine anticipation, tackling, tactical awareness and good strength. He's mainly effective in covering his side while he's less consistent in the marking.
