Ruben Buriani (born 16 March 1955 in Portomaggiore, Province of Ferrara) is a former Italian footballer who played as a midfielder. Following his retirement he worked as a sporting director for the Milan Youth sector.[1]
Club career
Buriani played 7 seasons (165 games, 10 goals in Serie A between 1977–1982) in the Serie A for A.C. Milan, A.C. Cesena, A.S. Roma and S.S.C. Napoli.
