INFO:Bellugi was a centre back, right back and sweeper. He spent most of his career at Inter from 1969 to 1974 and Bologna from 1974 to 1979, playing respectively 140 and 111 matches. He then played for Napoli and Pistoiese, retiring in 1981. He gained 32 caps for Italy.
Bellugi was a versatile defender, gifted with strength, great defensive qualities and fine technique. He had speed and interception ability that allowed him to challenge fast players or run forward, especially as side back. He was very determined marker but rarely committed fouls. He was excellent in the air, mainly thanks to a very good leap. Mainly focused on his defensive duty, his only goal came against Borussia Mönchengladbach in a 4-2 win in 1971. He wasn't always regular starter at Inter due to issues with the club and at Bologna due to injuries, but he always did his job when he played.
