'''Alfonso De Lucia''' (born 12 November 1983) is an Italian [[association football|football]] coach and a former player who played as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]].

==Career== ===Parma=== De Lucia was signed by [[Parma A.C.]] from [[S.S.C. Napoli]], as part of the deal of [[Paolo Cannavaro]].

De Lucia made his professional debut as a replacement for injured [[Cláudio Taffarel]] during a [[Serie A]] league game versus [[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]] on 30 March 2002, at the age of 18. The following season, De Lucia did not make any appearance, being later loaned out to [[Serie B]] side [[Salernitana Calcio 1919|Salernitana]] for the 2003–04 season. After his return to Parma in July 2004, he served as a reserve for veteran keeper [[Luca Bucci]], also managing to play 17 more games in three seasons.

===Livorno=== On 13 July 2007 De Lucia moved to [[A.S.
