Raffaele Simone Quintieri (born 16 March 1982) is an Italian former footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Career[edit]

United States[edit]

Captaining Miami United to the 2013 United Premier Soccer League,[1] Quintieri was tasked with securing the championship and doing well at the US Open Cup, stating that the popularity of football there had risen a lot.[2]

Malta[edit]

Registering his first outing as Qormi conceded 5–3 to Hibernians on February 3, 2014,[3] the Italian viewed the Maltese Premier League's quality as good as the Lega Pro in his home country.[4]

Malaysia[edit]

Among the new arrivals at SPA preceding the 2015 Malaysia Premier League,[5] he came across the likes of Senegalese international El Hadji Diouf there, viewing the lifestyle in Malaysia as similar to Europe.[6]

Indonesia[edit]

Greeted by euphoric fans upon arrival to Semarang United,[7][8] the then 29-year old competed alongside an Angolan, two Australians, and a Brazilian, taking the number 37 jersey and supplying two assists in three matchups.[8] Hoping to reach the first stage of the AFC Champions League, he considered the local standard the same level as the Italian Serie C2.[7] Upon returning to Italy, he stated that he missed his celebrity status in Indonesia.[9]

Aiding Sriwijaya at the 2015 General Sudirman Cup,[10] his transfer was delayed due to injury,[11] but ended up being dropped.[12]

Kuwait[edit]

Putting pen to paper with Al-Jahra preceding the second part of 2015–16,[13] the former Miami United man mixed with a Brazilian and a Cameroonian there, setting a top eight finish as the main goal.[14]
