However, Tulli says his most memorable time was with Triestina, where his form earned him a move from Roma to LECCE. During his time in Serie B, Tulli worked with some of Italy's biggest identities, including Giorgio Chiellini, Stefano Pioli and Pietro Vierchowod.
In this exclusive chat, Tulli looks back on his career, shares stories about his time with different clubs and gives his thoughts on modern football.
The most memorable moments of his career
When asked about his best experience as a player, Tulli did not hesitate to highlight his time in Triestina:
“The most beautiful experience for me on a personal level was in Triestina. It was a fantastic time, and I remember so much from that period, especially the moment I scored the goal that ensured our survival in the league. Professionally and personally, that was the highlight of my career. ”
Playing with Paolo Zanetti in Vicenza
In Vicenza, Tulli had the opportunity to play alongside Paolo Zanetti, now the head coach of Hellas Verona:
“Playing with Paolo was a pleasure. It was my first experience away from Roma, and I was a young player at the time. Paolo was a strong player with a great personality and I have very positive memories of him. As a coach he does a fantastic job. Despite challenges such as losing key players, Verona competes well in Serie A, which is a tough competition. I wish him and the team the best – I'm sure his future in coaching is very bright. '
Learning from Roberto Donadoni in Livorno
During his time in Livorno, Tulli worked under the legendary Roberto Donadoni. Think about this experience, he said:
“It was a privilege to work with a coach like Roberto. He was extraordinary in every aspect – professional, prepared and inspiring. I learned so much from him, both as a player and as a person. With his wealth of experience, especially from his time in Milan, I hope he returns to management soon because he deserves it. “
Giorgio Chiellini: From young talent to leader
Tulli also had the chance to play with a young Giorgio Chiellini in Livorno:
“When I played with Giorgio, he was just starting out, but his determination and physical strength were immediately noticeable. He trained hard, earned his place in the starting lineup and showed incredible leadership qualities. It was clear that he was going to achieve great things. As a director, I believe he has all the qualities to succeed and continue to contribute to Juventus. ”
About Salernitana's current struggles
As a former Salernitana player, Tulli expressed his disappointment with the club's recent form:
“Salernitana is very close to my heart and I follow them closely. It is heartbreaking to see the club in this situation. The city, the fans and the history of the club deserve so much more. My former teammate Breda, who is now the coach, has all the qualities to turn things around. I really hope they can recover and fight for better causes. ”
Working with Pietro Vierchowod in Triestina
Tulli worked briefly with Italian football legend Pietro Vierchowod during a turbulent season in Triestina. He shared his thoughts on the experience:
“Pietro is a legend, not only in Italian football, but worldwide. Unfortunately I didn't have much time with him as a coach because we changed managers often due to bad results. Still, I remember him as very detailed and professional, even though it was a difficult year for the team. “
Working with Stefano Pioli and Radja Nainggolan
At Piacenza, Tulli worked under Stefano Pioli and played alongside a young Radja Nainggolan. Think about those experiences, he said:
“I worked with Pioli twice – first in Salernitana and later in Piacenza. He is a fantastic coach and an even better person. Unfortunately, my time at Piacenza was marred by a knee injury, but I still appreciate the experience. His staff was incredibly prepared and I am not surprised by his success today. “
On Nainggolan:
“Radja was not only a great player, but also a good friend. Even then, his talent and determination were evident. Despite facing many challenges, he achieved so much in his career. He is a great person with a big heart, and I am sure he has more to give to football. “
Memories of Lecce
One of the standout chapters of Tulli's career was his time at Lecce, which holds a special place in his heart:
“Lecce was one of the most important and important experiences for me. Adjusting was difficult at first, but over time I grew into my role. My only regret is leaving the club when I was playing well and scoring crucial goals. An unforgettable moment was my goal against Bari, which fans still remember me about. “
As a former LECCE player, Tulli is optimistic about the club's chances this season:
“LECCE has all the tools to survive. The team is well organised, with a clear attacking philosophy under Marco. Their passionate fans always support them, and I believe they will achieve their goals this season. ”
Life after football
Today, Alessandro Tulli is focused on coaching and developing young players:
“I run my own academy, where I work with young players on technical skills and coordination. Helping them improve and find joy in football gives me immense satisfaction. In recent years I have dedicated myself to this work and I hope to continue supporting young players in achieving their dreams. ”
