Bernardo Corradi (Italian pronunciation:

Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer
in 2012.

He is also a former Italian international, with 13 caps and two goals from 2003 to 2004. Corradi represented his country at UEFA Euro 2004.

He is currently in charge as head of the Italy U17 team.

Club career

Early career

Corradi began his career in Italy with

Andria
. In 1999, he returned to Cagliari and played his first Serie A match.

Chievo and Inter Milan

In 2000, Corradi was jointly signed by

Chievo and Inter Milan. Using his height as ability, he started showing his talent as central forward and scored his first Serie A goal at Chievo. He stayed at the club for two seasons, until Inter paid €4 million to purchase him outright.[1]

Considered the ideal understudy to

10-year special amortization fund
.

Lazio

At Lazio, Corradi scored on his debut, and formed a strike partnership with

2004 Coppa Italia
title.

Valencia

Corradi signed for

Parma
for the 2005–06 season, in which he scored ten times in 36 appearances.

Manchester City

In the 2006 close season, he was sold by Valencia to Manchester City for an undisclosed fee on 20 July, signing a three-year contract with the Premier League club.[8]

Corradi made his Manchester City debut in the opening match of the 2006–07 Premier League season against

Manchester Derby infuriated Stuart Pearce, who believed it was justified.[11]

Corradi lost his starting place to

Parma
for the rest of the season.

Corradi impressed during his first couple of appearances for his new club, but again got himself into disciplinary problems, when he was sent off in the first half, during a match with Roma. He finished with a tally of five goals in 15 starts, and was given the captain's armband.

Reggina and Udinese

On 30 July 2008, Manchester City confirmed that Corradi had been released from the final year of his contract, to return to Italy, and play for

Reggina. On 31 May 2009, they terminated his contract with them.[13]

On 3 July, he was signed for free by Udinese,[14] who played him mainly as a substitute.

Montreal Impact

Corradi made his Impact debut in a 1–0 pre-season exhibition victory over Häcken of Sweden on 3 March 2012.[15] He replaced Justin Mapp to start the second half, and played out the final 45 minutes of the match.[16] On 15 March 2012, the Montreal Impact announced that he had signed for three months with the option to extend.[17] He recorded his first MLS goal on 14 April in the 61st minute against FC Dallas with a penalty kick.

Corradi was released by Montreal on 7 December 2012.[18]

International career

Corradi won a total of 13 caps for Italy between 2003 and 2004, scoring two goals.

Sweden.[19][22]

Along with Valencia teammate Marco Di Vaio, he was played up front by new Italy national football team coach Marcello Lippi in the first few matches of qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in late 2004.[19] After the rise of Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino, while Corradi struggled at Valencia, he did not receive an international call-up again.[19]

Style of play

Often described as an "old-fashioned" centre-forward in the Italian media, Corradi was a tall, powerful, and physically strong striker, with an eye for goal, who excelled in the air; he was also known for his work-rate off the ball, and his ability to press defenders in order to help his team win back possession. During his prime, his playing style drew comparisons with that of Pierluigi Casiraghi.[23][24]

Coaching career

In 2017, he joined the Italy national youth team as an assistant to Italy U17 head coach Carmine Nunziata. He subsequently worked as head coach of the Italy U16 and Italy U18, before returning to the Under-17 team in 2020, this time as a head coach.

Television career

Bernardo Corradi (in couple[25] with the dancer Stefano De Martino) in May–June 2017 is one of the tutors/mentors[25] in the second season of Selfie – Le cose cambiano, a talent show produced by Fascino PGT[26] of Maria De Filippi and aired by Canale 5 with Simona Ventura as presenter.[25][26]

Personal life

In June 2014, Corradi married the Italian model Elena Santarelli.[27]
