Former Italy international Alessandro Diamanti has joined Western United in a coup for the A-League newcomers.
Diamanti, 36, has joined the A-League club on a one-year marquee deal, it was confirmed on Thursday.
The playmaker, who made 17 appearances for Italy between 2010 and 2013, enjoyed a fine season with Livorno in Serie B in 2018-19, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists in 32 games.
"I have played all around the world, with world-class clubs and team-mates and Western United stood out to me after speaking with the coaches and staff and hearing how they plan on having an impact in their first season in the A-League," Diamanti said.
