Daniele Rugani is an Italian international centre-back renowned for his elegant defending and composure, currently playing for Juventus after a long spell with the Turin giants. The 31-year-old defender rose to prominence at Empoli, where his performances earned him a move to Juventus in 2015. At Juve, Rugani became a dependable option in a star-studded defense, winning multiple Serie A titles, Coppa Italia trophies, and domestic Super Cups. His style is based on impeccable positioning, intelligent reading of the game, and clean tackling rather than brute force. Although competition for places limited his starts, he remained a valued member of the squad and earned caps for the Italian national team. A loan to Cagliari provided a stint of regular football before his return to Juventus. Rugani epitomizes the classy, ball-playing defender, whose technical quality and calmness under pressure have sustained his career at the top level.
