Alessandro Potenza

Potenza earned nine caps with Italy U19, as well as two caps for Italy U20. His international career took off with Italy U21, where he made a total of 27 appearances and scored one goal.

Inter Milan

Potenza came from the youth system of Inter Milan and was called up to the first team squad for the 2002–03 Serie A season. He only made one appearance for Inter's first team in a Coppa Italia match against Bari, 4 December 2002.

Loan spells

In 2003, Potenza was loaned out to Serie B side Ancona to gain experience. After finding playing time limited at Ancona, he was loaned out to Serie A outfit Parma. With Parma, he found more success and plenty of first team action. In 2005, Inter loaned him out to ChievoVerona, another Serie A side. After another decent campaign, Spanish side Mallorca wanted to bring Potenza out to La Liga; however, Inter opted to loan him out. After another fairly impressive season, he caught the eye of Serie A side Fiorentina, who wanted to bring the player back to Italy.

Fiorentina and Genoa

In 2006, Fiorentina made a bid for the player and Inter decided to sell the young talent for €1.25 million. In his early stages with the Tuscan team, he found plenty of playing time and even some first team action. During the 2007–08 Serie A season, Potenza found playing time very hard to find and was seldom used in the starting XI. In the summer of 2008, Fiorentina decided to sell the player to Genoa. In the first half of the 2008–09 Serie A season, Potenza also found playing time hard to come by.

Catania

During the 2009 winter transfer market, Potenza was seeking a transfer away from Liguria. On 31 January 2009,…

In August 2018, Potenza was hired as head coach of Fidelis Andria in Serie D. On 29 July 2019, he moved to Audace Cerignola, also in Serie D. On 26 August 2020, he was hired by Serie C club Arezzo. On 19 October 2020, he was dismissed by Arezzo after the club only gained 1 point in the first five league games of the season.
