Alessandro Gamberini is an Italian former professional footballer born to a passion for the sport. He began his career at Bologna F.C. 1909, where he was acquired by Juventus FC in 2000 but returned to Bologna in 2002. His time at Bologna laid the groundwork for his future successes, as he developed into a reliable defender.
Rise to Prominence
In 2005, Gamberini made a significant move to ACF Fiorentina for €3.2 million. He quickly established himself as a key player, helping the team qualify for the UEFA Champions League twice. His leadership qualities shone through when he was appointed captain in 2011. Gamberini's tenure at Fiorentina was marked by notable performances, including a memorable match where he scored two goals against Torino FC in 2007.
Later Career and International Experience
Gamberini's career continued with stints at SSC Napoli and Genoa CFC, before concluding at AC ChievoVerona. On the international stage, he represented Italy, playing for the under-21 team that won the 2004 UEFA European Championship and later earning caps for the senior national team, including participation in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Coaching Career
After retiring from professional play, Gamberini transitioned into coaching, taking on the role of assistant coach at Virtus Verona in July 2020. His extensive experience as a player has undoubtedly enriched his coaching approach, allowing him to impart valuable knowledge to the next generation of footballers.

Карьера и клубы
Bologna
In the 2000 off-season, Gamberini was acquired by Juventus FC alongside Alex Pederzoli and Giacomo Cipriani in a pack deal for €5.16 million, in exchange for the remaining 50% of Jonatan Binotto's registration rights for the same amount, with 50% of Gamberini's rights being priced at €2.32 million. His co-ownership deal was terminated in the favour of Bologna in June 2002, for a peppercorn fee, making the Turin side register a loss of €1.5 million (the residual unamortised transfer fee of €4.64 in three years), but with a financial income of €2.32 million as Juve did not have to pay the remaining 50% registration rights.
Fiorentina
Following Bologna's relegation in 2005, Gamberini moved to ACF Fiorentina for €3.2 million, carving a starting XI niche in his second year as the Viola eventually qualified twice for the UEFA Champions League. On 4 March 2007, he scored two goals in a 5–1 home win over Torino FC, his first in 134 professional appearances. At the end of 2007–08, Gamberini was voted as Fiorentina's player of the campaign. In February 2010, he was sidelined for three months after undergoing shoulder surgery. In July 2011, Gamberini became Fiorentina's new captain as Riccardo Montolivo was stripped of that role.
Napoli
In July 2012, aged 31, Gamberini signed with S.S.C. Napoli along with teammate Valon Behrami, in a combined deal of around €8.5 million. He spent 2013–14 on loan to Genoa CFC.
Chievo
On 24 July 2014,…
Gamberini was a member of the Italian under-21 team that won the 2004 UEFA European Championship under Claudio Gentile. He made his debut with the full side in a 2–0 friendly win against South Africa, on 17 October 2007. Gamberini was not included in the original squad for UEFA Euro 2008, but was called up after captain Fabio Cannavaro tore ankle ligaments after a collision with teammate Giorgio Chiellini in training, on 2 June. Gamberini was selected by Marcello Lippi for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup tournament, but once again failed to make an appearance as the nation was eliminated in the first round.
A reliable and physically strong centre-back, Gamberini was known in particular for his tackling ability and aerial prowess.
In July 2020, he was hired by Serie C club Virtus Verona as assistant coach.
