Andreas Ravelli (born 13 August 1959) is a Swedish former footballer who played as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Vimmerby, Ravelli started playing professionally for Östers IF, lasting 11 seasons with the team and winning two Allsvenskan titles before signing for IFK Göteborg.[1][2]
At age 31, he moved to amateur football, representing Lenhovda IF - two stints - and Hovmantorp until his retirement (he also represented Östers in between). Later, he also worked as manager of his main club.[3]
International career
Ravelli won 41 caps for Sweden, his debut coming on 12 November 1980 in a 0-0 away draw against Israel for the 1982 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He never participated in any international tournament, however.[2]
Personal life
Ravelli's twin brother, Thomas, was also a footballer. Their father was an Austrian immigrant of Italian descent who moved to Sweden in 1952,[4][5][6] and the siblings played alongside each other at Östers and the national team.
