Alessandro Scanziani (born 23 March 1953) is an Italian professionalfootball coach and a former player, who played as amidfielder.
Scanziani was born inVerano Brianza. He began his career atMeda before spending a season on loan atLivorno. Three seasons atComo followed, in which he won promotion toSerie A. Although he impressed as a skilful midfielder with an eye for goal, this could not prevent Como from being relegated. Scanziani joinedInter Milan a year later and played for two seasons.
A move toAscoli in 1979 saw him form an outstanding midfield partnership withGianfranco Bellotto andAdelio Moro. This trio accounted for a large share of Ascoli's goals over the next two seasons and led the side to a finish of 5th in 1980, the club's highest-ever placing.
He moved toSampdoria in 1981 and helped the side to promotion, and played alongsideLiam Brady in the team's midfield in Serie A. He later played forGenoa andArezzo.
