Career
Angelini is a FIFA-registered agent, based in Scotland.[2][3] During his career as an agent, he has represented numerous footballers including Calum Elliot, Shunsuke Nakamura and Anthony Basso.[4][5]
In 2008, Angelini was part of an Italian consortium, along with Angelo Massone, that became majority shareholders of Scottish football club Livingston.[6][7]
On 27 July 2009, it was revealed that the club were likely to go into liquidation after Massone said he would refuse a £25,000 offer for the club from their administrator.[8] On 28 July 2009, Massone yet again refused the offer and the administrator subsequently started the liquidation process.[9] on 30 July 2009, a meeting with the Scottish Football League secured their future, as they agreed to allow prospective new owners Gordon McDougall, Ged Nixon and Neil Rankine, part of the Livingston 5 Consortium, to run the club for the following season. The following day, Massone sold his shares to the new owners and, along with his consortium, left the club.[10][11]
Personal life
Angelini's father-in-law is former Celtic player David Hay.[12]
