Antonio Sabato (Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo ˈsaːbato]; born 9 January 1958) is a retired Italian professional football player, who played as a midfielder. He was usually deployed as an attacking midfielder, or as a winger on either flank, due to his ambidexterity. He currently works as a pundit.
