(Redirected from Amilcar Barbuy)
Italian-Brazilian footballer and manager
Amílcar Barbuy (29 March 1893 – 24 August 1965) was an Italian Brazilianfootball player and manager. A talented and well-rounded midfielder, he was known for his commanding presence, pinpoint tackling, ability to read the game, powerful kicks and great long passes. He was one of the greatest players of Corinthians.
For some veteran Corinthians supporters, Amílcar was the second most skilled and gifted Brazilian footballer, only behind Pelé.
He also played for Palestra Itália and Lazio, becoming the first Brazilian in the Italian Football. At the age of 38, he became the oldest player ever to debut in the Italian Serie A in 1931, a record which was only broken in 2016 by Maurizio Pugliesi, at the age of 39.
