Alessandro Rosina (Italian pronunciation: [alesˈsandro roˈziːna]; born 31 January 1984) is an Italian former footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or winger.
Club career
Early career
Born in
Rosina spent the 2001–02 season playing for the Parma
Following a tactical change to the team's formation, Rosina found first-team opportunities hard to come by. In January 2005 he was loaned to
Torino
Rosina was regarded as a revelation since his arrival at the Turin club. He became the driving force behind Torino's
He stayed loyal to Torino despite awakening the interest of Italian powerhouses, signing a contract extension until 2011 in 2007.The 2008–2009 season was a major setback for Torino, as Rosina was unable to prevent the club from suffering relegation.
Zenit
On 31 July 2009, Rosina was sold to
As Zenit lost to Tom at home, Advocaat was replaced at the helm by former Zenit player Anatoli Davydov, who soon afterwards brought in another offensive midfielder, controversial Vladimir Bystrov. Despite finding little playing time through tough competition, Rosina had impressed on occasions, achieving a total of two goals and two assists in nine RFPL games out of remaining fourteen.
2010 preseason saw another head coach change, as fellow Italian Luciano Spalletti took reign. However, with Danny having recovered from cruciate ligaments injury, Rosina again found himself on the bench at the start of the season. Being used mainly as a substitute, he managed to contribute with a vital assist against archrivals Spartak Moscow, finding Nicolas Lombaerts' head with a perfect cross in a game that finished 1–1.
As Spalletti settled to a counterattacking 4–3–3 or 4–2–3–1 formation with two wingers, and established internationals Danny, Konstantin Zyryanov and Danko Lazović all being options on the left, left-footed Rosina was mainly used in the rotation on the right as a backup for Bystrov.[7][8] He scored after coming on as a substitute in 6–1 trashing of Saturn in September, rounding the keeper and scoring in the empty net.
On 29 January 2011, before the start of

Return to Zenit
After his loan deal with Cesena came to an end, Rosina returned to Zenit and was subsequently registered for Russian Premier League football. On 14 August he was included in the starting line-up against Amkar and put off a dynamic performance, but due to below-par passing and general lack of end product he was substituted even before the break. Despite this, Zenit head coach Luciano Spalletti praised Rosina for his footballing attitude and determination to fight for a place in the team, promising him a squad role for the remainder of the season.[13] Rosina had to fight off competition from Lazović, Aleksei Ionov, Szabolcs Huszti as well as recovering Bystrov.[12] In April, he won his second Russian Premier League title.
