*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Christian Maggio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkristjam ˈmaddʒo]; born 11 February 1982) is an Italian former footballer who played as a right-back, as a wing-back, or as a right winger.
A dynamic and hard-working offensive full-back, prior to joining Napoli in 2008, Maggio played for Italian clubs
A former Italy international level, he represented the Italy national football team on 34 occasions between 2008 and 2014, and took part at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2012 (winning a silver medal), and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup (winning a bronze medal).
Club career
Vicenza
Maggio began his career at Vicenza making his Serie A debut in the 2000–2001 season, finishing the campaign with six appearances.[2] However, despite some success on a personal level, Vicenza were subsequently relegated to Serie B at the end of the season.[3] Maggio stayed with Vicenza until 2003, making 38 appearances in total while managing to score just 1 goal. Half of the registration rights were also sold to Parma in June 2002[4] for 4 billion lire (€2.066 million,[5] for an undisclosed cash plus Paolo Guastalvino). In June 2003 the co-ownership deal was renewed.[6]

After being briefly being excluded from the national side, he was called up by new head coach Cesare Prandelli on 6 February 2011 for a friendly match against Germany held in Dortmund,[32] and subsequently he became a regular for the team in the right back position under the manager; as a result, he was named to the 23-man Italy squad that took part at the UEFA Euro 2012. Maggio appeared in the first two group games for Italy at the Euros, a 1–1 draw with holders Spain[33] and another 1–1 draw with Croatia, playing as a wing-back on the right in a 3–5–2 formation.[34] Maggio also appeared as a substitute in Italy's 4–2 penalty shootout victory over England in the quarterfinals, following a 0–0 draw after extra-time, playing as a right-back in a 4–3–1–2 after coming on for Ignazio Abate in the 90th minute; during the match, however, he received his second booking of the tournament, which ruled him out of the semi-final fixture against Germany.[35][36]
Maggio was also named to the 23-man Italy squad that participated in the 2013 Confederations Cup.[37] He made his tournament debut in Italy's second group match of the tournament, a 4–3 win over Japan,[38] and hit the cross-bar with a header in a 4–2 defeat to hosts and eventual champions Brazil in the final group match after coming on as a substitute.[39] He also started in the semi-final match against Spain, helping the team to keep a clean sheet, although Spain would advance to the final with a 7–6 victory penalties, following a 0–0 deadlock after extra-time.[40] He once again started in the third-place match against Uruguay, where he helped the Italians to capture the bronze medal, following a 5–4 victory in the resulting penalty shoot-out after a 2–2 draw following extra-time.[41]
Maggio was named in Prandelli's provisional 30-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but was one of seven players cut from the final squad, after missing much of the previous season due to injury.[42] On 18 March 2015, he announced his retirement from the Italy national side at the age of 33; in total he made 34 appearances for Italy.[43]
Style of play
A dynamic, hard-working and tenacious right-footed player, with an eye for goal, for the majority of his career Maggio has been deployed as an attacking-minded
