About Amauri
Amauri Carvalho de Oliveira, known as Amauri, is a former footballer who played as a striker. His previous clubs include Bellinzona, Parma, Napoli, Piacenza, Empoli, Messina, Chievo, Palermo, Juventus, Fiorentina and Fort Lauderdale Strikers. Although he was born in Brazil, he represented Italy once at international level in 2010, after acquiring Italian citizenship. In a Lega Nazionale Professionisti record, Amauri joined Parma from Napoli in summer 2001 on free transfer, but Parma also paid Harold McKenzie $3.5 million, apparently the "true owner" of Amauri's playing rights. With Sergio Pellissier and Federico Cossato, Amauri first played as a backup then as a second-striker. Immediately after his debut with Palermo, Amauri became a fan favourite and a key player for the Rosanero, scoring eight goals in 18 league matches until December 2006.
