Di Marzio explains the entry requirements for joining Di Livio’s team are being a Poste Italiane employee and registration with an amateur club.
The 52-year-old made over 600 appearances for the likes of Juve and Fiorentina during his career, memorably sticking with the Viola after their bankruptcy and during their rise back up the divisions.
A versatile defender-midfielder, renowned for his tireless running, he played 40 times for Italy between 1995 and 2002, representing them at four major tournaments.
He has primarily worked in punditry since hanging up his boots in 2005.
