Sebastiano Nela (born 13 March 1961), is an Italian ex-footballer who played as a full back.

Career

A surly left-footed defender, Nela began his career with Genoa.[1] He was bought by Serie A side Roma, making his debut in a 0-0 draw with Avellino on 13 September 1981.[2] He made 28 appearances for the Roma team that won the Scudetto in 1983.[1][2] Nela's performances for Roma earned him a call-up to the Italian national team, making his debut against West Germany on 22 May 1984.[3]

Nela made a total of five appearances for the Italian national team.[1] Nela was a member of the Italian squad for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, although he did not play; Italy went out in the round of 16.[3] He also made three appearances at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, helping Italy to fourth place.[4]

Nela was injured in an accident in 1987 and was forced to miss almost a year of football. The singer Antonello Venditti dedicated his song "Correndo correndo", which appears on his 1988 album In questo mondo di ladri, to Nela.[5]

Nela left Roma in 1992 to join Napoli having won the Scudetto and three Italian cups. He retired after the 1993-94 season having made a total of 315 appearances in Serie A.

Following his retirement, Nela has worked as a commentator for various national and satellite channels; he currently works for Mediaset Premium.[6]
