In 1982, he was allowed to leave Torino for free, moving to Udinese; after a season in Friuli, he went to Fiorentina, with whom he ended his playing career.

Pulici began his international debut on the 30th of March 1973, when he scored the 5-0 victory over Luxembourg in an World Cup qualifier in Genoa. The first goal he scored was two goals on December 30 1975, in a 3-2 friendly win against Greece in Florence which was his seventh cap. He scored the following two matches in the United States in the games against Portugal in addition to his home country of the United States.
