Playing career

Club

Scarafoni, who could play as either a forward or a winger, began his playing career in the 1981-82 season with his hometown club, Ascoli.[1] He spent seven seasons with Ascoli, after which he had spells in both Serie A and Serie B with Bari, Pisa, Cesena and Palermo.[1] His most prolific season was in 1993-94,[1] when his 15 goals helped Cesena to the brink of promotion to Serie A–Cesena missed out on promotion after losing a play-off with Padova.[2]

Scarafoni made 11 appearances for the Italy under-21s from 1987 to 1988.[3] He made his debut on 28 January 1987 in a 1–0 win against East Germany.[3] He took part in the 1988 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship and was involved in both legs of Italy's quarter-final defeat to France.[3]

Coaching career

Following his retirement in 1999, Scarafoni worked as the youth-team coach of Fermana.[4] He later worked as Carlo Mazzone's assistant at both Bologna and Livorno.[4]
