Babù

Early career

A forward, Babù started his career off in Italy, being noted by Zdeněk Zeman in 2001 during a youth football tournament in Rome; as Zeman was head coach of Serie B side Salernitana at the time, he had him signed for the club. He made a total of 27 appearances in 2 seasons, scoring 3 goals for the Salerno based club. In 2003, he moved to recently relegated Serie A side Venezia, where Babù played in 21 games, but failed to score a single goal in his single Serie B season with the club. In 2004, he was purchased by Serie A side Lecce, rejoining Zeman as head coach, where he would spend the next 3 seasons. He managed to score 6 goals in 47 total appearances for the central Italian club. Following his longest spell with one team as a professional footballer, he was signed by then Serie B side Hellas Verona F.C. in 2007. He stayed for just under one season and made just 12 appearances scoring just once.

Catania

Following his short stint in Verona, he signed for Sicilian giants Calcio Catania, where he found it hard to find any playing time making just two substitute appearances, not scoring. Hence he was sent on loan to Triestina, where he would remain for the remaining six months of the season. He spent the entire 2008–09 season on loan at Avellino, in the Italian Serie B, yet he only managed seven appearances and a single goal. He was released by mutual consent in July 2009.

On 30 December 2022, Babù joined Casertana as an assistant to newly appointed head coach Vincenzo Cangelosi, former long-time assistant of Zdeněk Zeman.
