After a career taking in several Serie B clubs, Massimo became a target for several Premiership clubs in the spring of 2002.
Steve McClaren managed to sign him from under the nose of Chelsea.
The deal was sealed after some disagreements on how the transfer would be guaranteed by the Teeside club.
The deal was finalised early in July 2002.
