Corrado Colombo

Atalanta, Inter and loans

Colombo started his career at the famous youth rank of Atalanta. He made his debut on Serie B and for the club in the 1998–99 season, and then joined Pistoiese (Serie B). He was signed by the giant Internazionale in the summer of 2000 in co-ownership deal. He made his Serie A debut on 1 October 2000 against Reggina Calcio, and four other appearances at Coppa Italia, Italian Super Cup and the UEFA Cup match, in which he scored. In October, he was on loan to Torino Calcio (Serie B) along with Sixto Peralta, due to there being too many strikers on the squad. He failed to return to Inter but was sold back to Atalanta, this time in the Serie A. His first-ever Serie A season as a regular was fair, in which he made 22 appearances.

Sampdoria and loans

In summer 2002, Sampdoria (Serie B) signed Colombo in a co-ownership deal, for 5.25 billion lire (€2,711,399). He is one of the players who helped the club to be promoted, by playing 27 games. But his third Serie A season with his third Serie A club was bitter; he made just 2 appearances before the winter break. Colombo was loaned to Piacenza (Serie B), Livorno (Serie A), and Ascoli (Serie A), for exactly two seasons. The latter two were newcomers to the Serie A at that time, and Piacenza was also new to Serie B since being relegated. He returned to Sampdoria in January 2006, due to injuries of Emiliano Bonazzoli, when he made 12 appearances, without a goal.

Colombo was a member of the Italy national under-21 football team.
