Antonio "Totò" De Vitis (born 16 May 1964) is a retired Italian footballer who played as a striker.[1]
A prolific striker, De Vitis started his career with Napoli, making his Serie A debut with the Campanian club in a home game against Genoa.[2] He successively started a career in the minor leagues of Italian football; in 1988, after winning promotion to the top flight with Udinese, he returned to play at Serie A level.
In 1991, De Vitis signed for newly-promoted Serie B club Piacenza, becoming a star player for the Biancorossi and a major factor in the club's promotion to Serie A in 1993 and the following campaigns in the Italian top flight. He left Piacenza in 1995 to sign for Hellas Verona, playing for the Gialloblu until 1999.
On 1 November 2023, De Vitis returned to Piacenza as the club's new technical director, working alongside sporting director Alessio Sestu.[3]
He is the father of professional footballer Alessandro De Vitis.[4]
