Torino & false accounting scandal

In January 2002, he swapped club with

Torino Calcio's Emanuele Calaiò, which later found that the pure player exchange were with inflated price tag on both players, in order to increase the selling profit on the balance sheet. Despite it also created another investment/cost on players and counter-weight the profit, but also created an asset with higher nominal value than its fair value. The deals later fined by Italian Football Federation (FIGC) 8 years later.[1]

He was awarded no.26 shirt in 2001–02 Serie A[2] but did not made any appearances with Torino.

Cibocchi was loaned to

Viterbese in 2002–03 Serie C1 but the deal was cancelled in January 2003, and returned to Ternana on loan.[3]

Return to Ternana

In July 2003 he returned to Ternana in permanent deal as the club exchanged him with Calaiò for a second time, he also signed a length deal partially to

that season. With theLombard club, he played a career high so far with 24 league games in a single season.

After only played 3 times in the first half of

Potenza. In the next season, he only played once in Serie B. Cibocchi returned to Serie C2 again in 2006–07 season.[4] After Ternana relegated to Serie C1 in 2007, he returned to his mother club and signed a new 3-year contract.[5]
He played 23 Prima Divisione/Serie C1 matches for Ternana since his return.

Swindon Town

In 2011 he moved to Swindon Town under Paolo Di Canio where he was part of the EFL League Two winning side.
