Salvatore Schillaci

• Full name: Salvatore "Toto" Schillaci
• Date of birth: December 1, 1964
• Place of birth: Palermo, Sicily, Italy
• Position: Striker / Forward

Club career (highlights)

• Started his professional career in Italy, featuring for lower-division clubs before rising to Serie A prominence.
• Most notable Italian clubs: Messina (where he gained wider attention), and Juventus (1990–1992), where he won domestic trophies and played in European competitions.
• Later moved abroad and had a brief spell in Japan with the J.League club Jobabo (commonly rendered as Jobabo Owata / Jobalo Owata in some sources). In Japan he was part of the early wave of international stars who helped raise the profile of the J.League era; his time there was short compared with his Italian career.

International career

• Italy national team forward, most famous for his performance at the 1990 FIFA World Cup held in Italy.
• At the 1990 World Cup he won the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer (6 goals) and the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player, becoming a national sensation.
• Earned 16 caps for Italy between 1990 and 1991, scoring 7 goals.

Playing style

• Known for his instinctive goal poaching, quick reactions in the penalty area, strong finishing with both feet and head, and tenacity.
• Noted for his opportunism rather than elaborate dribbling or playmaking—excelled at finding space and converting chances.

After retirement

• After retiring as a player, Schillaci has been involved in coaching at youth levels and has appeared in media and exhibition events. He remains a popular figure in Italy due to his 1990 World Cup heroics.

Note on club name

• The name you provided—"JOBALO OWATA"—appears to be a variant or misspelling of a Japanese club name from his late-career stint. Sources sometimes render foreign club names differently; most records emphasize his Italian club career and his brief time in Japan rather than a long tenure with a club of that exact spelling.
