Claudio Sclosa was born in Latisana on February 28 1961.
He began his career with the youth teams of Torino and made it to Serie A. He played for the Granata from 1979 to 1982 when he was signed by Bologna who were playing in Serie B. He stayed there for a year and in 1983 played for Como, again in Serie B.
He returned to Torino in 1984 but was there for only a year before going first to Bari, again for a single season and then a couple of years with Pisa from 1986 to 1987, where he helped the Tuscan team to promotion and also scored seven goals.
He signed for Lazio in 1988 and played for six years with the Biancocelesti, his longest stint in a single club. He was a very strong midfield player, gutsy, always gave 100%. He played 154 games for Lazio (133 in Serie A and 21 in Coppa Italia) and scored a single goal, a big whack from outside the penalty box in Lazio Torino 2-1 in 1992.
His last two years in professional football were first with Cremonese in 1994 in Serie A and then for Pistoiese a year later in Serie B.
Once he quit football he became a sports agent. In 2011 he was head scout for Juventus in Piedmont and in 2017 he became head of the Inter scouts.
