Lazio Player

Guglielmo Stendardo (born 6 May 1981) is an Italian football defender currently playing for S.S. Lazio. His brother, Mariano, is a footballer who plays for Messina.

Stendardo began his career at SSC Napoli in 1997 and has played for a number of top Italian football clubs, Sampdoria included. After a 3-2 defeat to the hands of Juventus, Stendardo had a falling out with Lazio manager Delio Rossi and demanded a transfer in the January 2008 transfer window.

In January 2008, Juventus officially announced the signing of Stendardo on a 6-month loan deal, with an option to buy him outright in the summer.

On 1 September 2008, Lecce sealed the loan for one season from Lazio, beating bids from West Ham United and Newcastle United.
