Club career
editA highly talented yet humble player, throughout his career, Antonelli played for Italian clubs Monza, Vicenza, A.C. Milan, Genoa, and Roma. He contributed to Milan's tenth league title victory during the 1978–79 Serie A season with 21 appearances and 5 goals; following Milan's relegation after their involvement in the Totonero 1980 match-fixing scandal, he remained with the club and played a decisive role in helping the team win the Serie B title in 1981 and earn promotion to Serie A, scoring 15 goals, and finishing the season as the top scorer in Serie B.[1][2]
Personal life
editHis son Luca Antonelli is a professional footballer, currently playing for Empoli as a left back. Throughout his career, Roberto earned the nickname Dustin, due to his resemblance to the actor Dustin Hoffman.[1][3]
