Roberto Pruzzo (born April 1, 1955) is an Italian former football striker, now a coach.

Born at Crocefieschi, in the province of Genoa, Pruzzo made his debut in professional football for Genoa in 1973. There he remained for six seasons, scoring 57 goals in 143 matches.

Pruzzo passed to Roma in 1979, for the then record sum of 3 billions liras. Here he became famous as one of the most effective Italian strikers of the 1980s, winning one scudetto and four Italian Cups. He also scored a goal in the 1984 European Cup Final, when Roma, playing at home, was beaten after penalties by Liverpool.

He ended his career in 1989 after a season for Fiorentina. Pruzzo is the sole Italian player to have scored 5 goals in a single Serie A match (Roma vs. Avellino, 1986).

Despite a fantastic club career, Roberto only managed to play 6 games (no goals) for the Italy national football team. He represented his country at the 1980 UEFA European Championship in Italy.^[1]

Roberto did, however, score in an Italian shirt, representing Italy in the 1991 World Cup of Masters. Roberto scored twice in the opening round.

In the late 1990s, Pruzzo started a much less notable coaching career which saw him at the helm of Viareggio, Teramo (Serie C2), Alessandria (Serie C1) and a five summer days long time at Palermo (Serie B), during the change of ownership time from Franco Sensi to Maurizio Zamparini. He then served as assistant coach of Giuseppe Giannini at Serie C1 teams Foggia and Sambenedettese.

He last served as head coach of Serie D amateurs Centobuchi from December 2008^[2] to March 2009.^[3]
