A solid dependable centre half he began his career at Salernitana in 1990. He stayed for two seasons then left for a season at Bologna and then at Monza before returning for the 1994-1995 season. He made a big move to Turin giants Juventus in the summer of 1996. He formed a solid member of the back three and made his international debut in September 1998 against Wales. He played well in Euro 2000 after replacing Gianluca Pessotto but played only a bit part in qualification but his experience and commitment earned him a late recall into the final squad.
Appearances in World Cup Qualification: 1.
