Piero Aggradi (7 October 1934 in Turin[1] – 17 July 2008 in Pescara) was a professional Italian football player.
Born in Turin in 1934, he joined Juventus' youth academy at twelve. After loan spells at Monza (Serie B) and Carrarese (Serie C), he returned to Juventus in 1954, making 14 appearances over three seasons. He debuted in Serie A on October 30, 1955, in a 1-1 draw against Roma.[2]
He played as a central midfielder, making 14 appearances in Serie A between 1955 and 1959 and playing 8 matches for the military national team. He later played for Palermo, Alessandria, and Pordenone.[1]
After retiring as a player, Aggradi decided to pursue a career in football management and, in 1974, took on his first role as sporting director of Pescara, newly promoted to Serie B. Three years later, the team reached Serie A for the first time in its history.[2] Notably, he was the one who brought young Alessandro Del Piero to Juventus.[1]
