Davide Di Gennaro

Early career

Di Gennaro is a product of Milan's youth system, which he joined from amateur side Cimiano in 1995. There he went on to become the captain of their under-20 squad. On 19 May 2007, he made his first team debut, aged 18, in a Serie A game against Udinese. For the 2007–08 season the young midfielder was loaned out to Bologna in Serie B, where he scored two goal in 22 appearances, playing an important part in the club's promotion to Serie A.

Serie A debut

In August 2008, Di Gennaro was transferred to Genoa in a co-ownership deal, in compensation for Marco Borriello, who was brought back to Milan. Nevertheless, after only making one league appearance, he was loaned out to Reggina, just before the transfers deadline. Oddly enough, he scored his only goal of the season – his first in Serie A – in the game against Milan at the San Siro, on 7 February 2009. The Rossoneri later equalised and the match finished 1–1. On 27 June 2009, Milan reclaimed Di Gennaro from the co-ownership with Genoa via a blind auction, after the two teams had failed to reach an agreement, for €1.25 million. Di Gennaro signed a new 3-year deal. However, during a pre-season friendly he suffered a broken metatarsal, which forced him out for the first months of the season. After recovering from the injury, he struggled to return to form, playing only two Coppa Italia games. To get some more playing time, on 29 January 2010 he was loaned to Livorno for the remainder of the…

Di Gennaro has played at various level of youth international football, collecting a total of 15 appearances, for the Italy U-16 to U-20 sides. He was first officially called up to Italy U-21 on 17 November 2007 for the European qualifier away to the Faroe Islands, and made his debut with Italy U-21 on 18 November 2008, in a friendly against Germany.
