Mark Iuliano Mark Iuliano ( ; born 12 August 1973 ) is an Italian football manager and a former professional footballer who played as a defender . Following his retirement he worked as a coach . He is currently working as Igor Tudors assistant at Serie A club Udinese . Iuliano spent the bulk of his playing career with , Juventus , in Serie A , a club with which he won several domestic and international trophies . At international level , he represented the Italy national football team at UEFA Euro 2000 , reaching the final , and at the 2002 FIFA World Cup . Club career . Salernitana . Born in Cosenza , Mark Iuliano started his professional football career with Salernitana Calcio in 1990 . He would transfer to Bologna FC on a season loan deal in 1992 and scored 1 goal in 24 appearances . After returning to Salerno , he was again sent out on loan in 1993 , for another season long loan deal . This time , Iuliano moved to A.C . Monza He would go on to make 16 appearances for the club . After two impressive loan spells in Bologna and Monza , Iuliano returned to Salernitana Calcio , and became a regular starter after his return , making over 85 appearances , and scoring a single goal , playing both as a centre back and as a full back . Juventus . After greatly impressing in his second spell with Salernitana , Iuliano caught the eye of several major scouts , most notably those of Serie A giants Juventus . In July 1996 , Iuliano transferred to the Torino based outfit , and was a big hit right from the start , as Juventus continued their Serie A and European dominance . He made his Serie A début on 15 September 1996 , 2–1 win over Cagliari Calcio . In his first season with Juventus he played in 21 league games scoring a single goal in a 1–1 away draw against Atalanta on 23 May 1997 , which saw Juventus claim the league title that season . During the 1997–98 season , Iuliano also became widely known for a controversial episode in Juventuss Derby dItalia match in Turin against Inter on 26 April 1998 , involving Ronaldo : a collision that occurred between the two players in the Juventus penalty area , which saw both players go to ground , led the Inter players to claim what they felt to be a clear penalty for a tackle of obstruction , but the referee let the play continue as the players continued to protest ; to add to the controversy , Juventus were awarded a contested penalty only thirty seconds later . Although Juventus did not convert the penalty successfully , they still ended up winning the match 1–0 , and went on to win the league title mathematically two days later , following a 3–2 home win against Bologna , with Inter finishing in second place . Following the match , the referee who had officiated the game , Piero Ceccarini , also came out publicly and stated that he had made a mistake , and that he should have called the foul and assigned a penalty to Inter for the challenge , although that , at the time , he did not witness the entire play that led to the incident , only the collision between the two players , which drew further criticism from the press . Up to this day , the incident has therefore acquired a degree of infamy , and is still widely debated in the Italian media , and often cited in newspapers . When asked about the episode in a 2009 interview , however , Ceccarini changed his view and said that in hindsight he would have not awarded a penalty , but instead an indirect free kick to Inter inside the penalty area for obstruction . In an even more recent interview with the newspaper Il Tirreno in 2016 , however , Ceccarini later further clarified , From the images it is clear that Ronaldo runs into Iuliano , not vice versa : as a matter of fact , the Juventus player falls backwards , resulting from the impact of Ronaldo running into him . I was on the pitch , a few meters away . The intention of the defender was to stop the attackers progression , but the attacker moved the ball and the defender did not follow it . Iuliano was stationary at the moment of contact , there are no doubts about this . I told Pagliuca ( Inters goalkeeper ) that in basketball this would be an offensive foul . Perhaps I ought to have whistled a foul in favour of Juventus . In a 2015 interview , when Iuliano was asked about the incident , he stated that he felt that a penalty should not have been awarded , but that due to the speed at which the collision occurred , it was not immediately obvious what the correct decision should have been , and that it was also possible that an offensive foul could have been given against Inter . Iuliano would become an eventual starter for the club the following season , but was hampered by injuries in the 1999–2000 season , limiting him to just 20 appearances . Juventus had what was considered by some pundits to be one of , if not the best defence in the world at this time , and were known for their ability to concede very few goals , which made the side particularly effective in closely contested matches . Iuliano formed impressive defensive partnerships with the likes of Ciro Ferrara , Moreno Torricelli , Paolo Montero , Gianluca Pessotto , Lilian Thuram , Alessandro Birindelli , Igor Tudor , Gianluca Zambrotta , Nicola Legrottaglie , and Fabio Cannavaro during his 10-year tenure with the club . After the 2004–2005 Serie A triumph , veteran teammates Paolo Montero and Ciro Ferrara called it quits on their Juventus career ( this title was later revoked following Juventuss involvement in the 2006 Calciopoli scandal ) . The Uruguayan opted to return to his homeland , while Iuliano remained , but in January 2005 , he left for La Liga side RCD Mallorca on free transfer after having not played regularly in the first portion season . Iuliano made well over 200 total appearances for i bianconeri , scoring nearly 15 goals . Mallorca . Iuliano transferred to RCD Mallorca in the Spanish La Liga in the summer of 2005 after 10 years with Juventus . He would remain at the club for only one season however , despite a fairly decent season starting 29 total games and scoring 4 goals . Sampdoria . Iuliano returned to Italy in January 2006 , by transferring to Serie A club , UC Sampdoria . He remained at the Genoa based club for just a mere six months , before a July transfer away from Liguria after making just 4 appearances in the league . Messina . After a disappointing period with Sampdoria , Iuliano moved to Sicilian club F.C . Messina Peloro in the summer of 2006 . After two consecutive fairly impressive Serie A seasons , Messina failed to avoid relegation in the 2006–2007 Serie A season . Iuliano made a total of 24 appearances for the club between the Coppa Italia and the Serie A , and scored 1 goal . Following Messinas relegation to Serie B , Iulianos contract was not renewed , and hence he became a free agent on 1 July 2007 . Ravenna . Iuliano was unable to find a club during the 2007 summer transfer window , and was linked with a return to former club Juventus , following their re-building of the clubs squad . This news turned out to be just rumours , as the deal never took off , and Iuliano remained a free agent for the next 6 months . After those 6 months without a club , he signed for Serie B side Ravenna Calcio in January 2008 . The veteran was instantly inserted into the starting eleven , and picked up good form before he failed a doping test after playing for Ravenna Calcio in a Serie B match against A.C . Cesena , in May 2008 . After being found positive for cocaine he was successively disqualified for two years . Retirement . After this series of events , Iuliano opted to call it quits on his career and officially retired from professional football in March 2012 ; he was 38 years old . International career . Iuliano was a regular in the Italy national football team setup during the peak of his career as he earned his first call-up in 1998 and received his last cap in 2003 .

He would make 19 total international appearances , scoring one goal for his country . His debut came on 5 September 1998 against Wales . He scored his only international goal against Portugal on 26 April 2000 . Style of play . Regarded as one of the best and most consistent Italian defenders of his generation , Iuliano was a large , tenacious , and physically strong defender , who excelled in the air , and who was an accomplished man-marker and an experienced tackler ; he usually played as a centre-back , although he was a tactically versatile player , who was also capable of playing as a full-back .
