Multifunction handler for a drilling rig comprising a mast and a top drive adapted to slide along said mast; said multifunctional handler being adapted to seize, hold and appropriately release drilling elements both during a drilling phase of the drilling rig and during pipe assembling phase, pipe disassembling phase, moving a series of drilling elements; said handler comprising: • a slide, in turn comprising a guide system and a lifting system, said slide being adapted to slide along a first axis parallel to the longitudinal extension of said mast; • an articulated arm; • a robotic apparatus; • a handling head, adapted to at least seize, hold and appropriately release at least one drilling element; said handling head comprises at least one gripper adapted to seize, hold and appropriately release different types of drilling elements; said articulated arm being fixed at a first end thereof to said slide; a first end of said robotic apparatus being fixed to a second end of said articulated arm; said articulated arm being adapted to allow moving the robotic apparatus along at least a second axis perpendicular to said first axis; said handling head being connected to a second end of the robotic apparatus; said robotic apparatus being adapted to move said handling head with at least three degrees of freedom; said handler being configured for moving said handling head with at least five degrees of freedom; said handler being characterized in that: said guide system is adapted to slide along rails comprised on the mast; said rails are located in the front part, between the lateral faces of mast allowing said slide to slide along the entire longitudinal extension of mast, being said rails parallel to guides that allow top drive to move along the mast; said guide system and said lifting system being arranged on a structure of slide; said structure being configures to cause the handler to protrude relative to position in which guides system is located, so as to not interfere with the top drive; said multifunction handler being adapted to seize, hold and appropriately release an end of at least one drilling element or of a series of drilling elements. said multifunctional handler being adapted to seize, hold and appropriately release drilling elements both during a drilling phase of the drilling rig and during pipe assembling phase, pipe disassembling phase, moving a series of drilling elements;
