Ruben Buriani (born 16 March 1955 in Portomaggiore, Province of Ferrara) is a former Italian footballer who played as a midfielder. Following his retirement he worked as a sporting director for the Milan Youth sector.[1]

Club career

Buriani played 7 seasons (165 games, 10 goals in Serie A between 1977–1982) in the Serie A for A.C. Milan, A.C. Cesena, A.S. Roma and S.S.C. Napoli. A serious injury forced him to retire prematurely in 1985. He won the 1978–79 Serie A title with Milan. He made his debut with the club on the 11 September 1977, in a 1–1 away draw against Fiorentina in Serie A; he left the club following their second relegation to Serie B in 1982. In total he made 180 career appearances, scoring 14 goals, 13 of which came in Serie A, in 146 appearances.[1][2]

International career

For the Italy national football team, Buriani made two substitute appearances, which both came at the 1980 European Football Championship on home soil, in which Italy reached the semi-finals, eventually managing a fourth-place finish, under manager Enzo Bearzot.[3]
