Julien Maggiotti (born 9 September 1995) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 2 club Bastia.

Career

A youth product of Lucciana since the age of 5, Maggiotti began his senior career with the club in 2017. An amateur at Lucciana, Maggiotti worked as a ironworker on the side and weighed 103 kg while playing. A chance meeting with the former professional footballer Pascal Camadini convinced him to lose weight, and he gained attention as one of the most talented players on his team.[1]

He transferred to Cholet in the 2020–21 season.

In 17 June 2021, he moved to Laval in the Championnat National.[2] He helped them win the 2021–22 Championnat National and earn promotion into the Ligue 2, and was named the club's player of the season by the fans.[3]

On 21 June 2022, he transferred to the Belgium club Charleroi signing a 2+1 year deal, but immediately returned to Laval on loan for the 2022–23 Ligue 2 season.[4]

On 26 July 2023, Ligue 2 side Bastia announced the signing of Maggiotti on a three-year deal, for approximately 500 000 euros.[5][6]
