Guglielmo Vicario (born 7 October 1996) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Italy national team.

Vicario started his professional career at Udinese but never played a first team match for the club. After a loan move to Fontanafredda, he joined Venezia, before signing for Cagliari in 2019, where he featured rarely and was subsequently loaned out to Perugia and Empoli. He signed permanently with the latter in 2022 before joining Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in 2023.

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Udine, Vicario played for the youth sides of Donatello Calcio Udine, ASD Bearzi Calcio, ASD Cormor Calcio Amatori and ASD Ancona Udine before joining Udinese's Primavera squad in 2013.[3] At the latter club, he was mainly a third-choice behind Alex Meret and Simone Scuffet,[3] and joined Serie D side Fontanafredda on loan for the 2014–15 season.[4]

Venezia

[edit]

In 2015, Vicario moved to Venezia also in the Serie D, also on loan from Udinese.[5][6] On 5 July 2016, after being a regular starter as the club achieved promotion, he signed a permanent contract.[7]

A backup to Davide Facchin during most of the season, Vicario made his Lega Pro debut on 5 March 2017, starting in a 4–1 away win over Teramo.[8] He appeared in a further two matches as Venezia achieved a second consecutive promotion.

After spending the 2017–18 Serie B as a second-choice to new signing Emil Audero, Vicario became Venezia's starting goalkeeper in the 2018–19 campaign, as they almost avoided relegation.

Cagliari

[edit]

On 17 July 2019, Vicario signed a five-year contract with Cagliari.[9] Eight days later, he joined Perugia on a season-long loan.[10]

A regular starter for Perugia, Vicario returned to Cagliari in July 2020, and made his Serie A debut on 11 April 2021, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Inter Milan.[3]

Empoli

[edit]

On 9 July 2021, Vicario joined fellow Serie A team Empoli on loan with an option to purchase.[11] On 18 June 2022, Empoli exercised their purchase option.[12][13]

On 4 February 2023, Vicario performed a triple save in a league match against Roma which resulted in a defeat, while his consecutive saves were applauded by many spectators.[14]

Tottenham Hotspur

[edit]

On 27 June 2023, Tottenham Hotspur announced the signing of Vicario on a five-year deal.[15] Vicario made his debut for Tottenham on 13 August in the club's first match of the 2023–24 Premier League season, starting in an away match against Brentford.[16] Vicario kept his first clean sheet for Tottenham in his next match, on 19 August 2023, a 2–0 win against Manchester United.[17]

Vicario was nominated for Save of the Month in five consecutive months, from August 2023 to December 2023,[18][19][20] and again in February 2024.[21] On 29 February 2024, Vicario won Goalkeeper of the Year award in the London Football Awards.[22]

International career

[edit]

Vicario received his first Italy national team call-up in September 2022 as manager Roberto Mancini named him to be part of the squad for the UEFA Nations League games against England and Hungary.[23]

Vicario made his debut with Italy on 24 March 2024, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win against Ecuador in a friendly match.[24]

Vicario was named in the provisional Italy squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[25]
