Stefano Morrone (born 26 October 1978) is an Italian footballer. He was the team captain of Parma F.C. from 2009–10 season.

Biography

In 1998, he was co-signed by Lazio and Empoli.[1] In 1999, he joined Piacenza along with Flavio Roma[2] and Stefano Di Fiordo to Piacenza as part of Simone Inzaghi's deal. That month Piacenza also signed Empoli team-mate Arturo Di Napoli.

In January 2001, he joined Venezia, re-joined Di Napoli. He was loaned back to Cosenza in January 2002.[3]

Palermo

After Venezia's owner Maurizio Zamparini purchased Palermo, he joined the Sicily side along with team-mate: Daniel Andersson, Bilica, Igor Budan, Francesco Ciullo, Kewullay Conteh, Di Napoli, Valentino Lai, Filippo Maniero, Antonio Marasco, Francesco Modesto, Frank Ongfiang, Generoso Rossi, Mario Santana, Evans Soligo, Ighli Vannucchi and William Viali.

In summer 2003, he was loaned to Serie A side Chievo along with Mario Santana, with Eugenio Corini moved to opposite direction. On 1 July 2004, he returned to Palermo, which the team won Serie B and promoted to the Italian top division in June 2004.

Livorno

In July 2005, he was sold to Serie A side Livorno[4] for €500,000.[5]

Parma

In summer 2007, he changed his club with Alfonso De Lucia.[6]

In 2009–10 season, he was the starting central midfielder in 352 formation,[7] or 433 formation.[8] partnered mainly with Daniele Galloppa, Blerim Džemaili (until February), Francesco Valiani (since February as left midfielder) and Luis Jiménez (since February as attacking midfielder). He only played as substitute in round 5, suspended in round 19[9] and round 29.[10] Since April, Morrone was rested due to injury.[11] He was also the team captain. On 5 May, he was returned from training[12] and played the match against Juventus on 9 May, which he was recovered in-time to replace Džemaili who suspended.[13]

Morrone had a more injury-free season in 2010–11 and missed just four games as he captained the club to Serie A safety, but the Italian lost his place in the side towards the end of the following season under new coach Roberto Donadoni.[citation needed]

On 19 August 2013 Morrone was signed by U.S. Latina Calcio in a temporary deal.[14]

On 14 July 2014 he was signed by A.C. Pisa 1909.[15]

International career

Morrone was call-up to 2000 Summer Olympics as backup player as Simone Perrotta was injured.[16] He also played at 2000 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualification, substituted Roberto Baronio, Gianni Comandini, Cristiano Zanetti respectively. In the last group stage match against Belarus U21 in October 1999, Morrone was in the starting XI, partnered with Roberto Baronio, Gennaro Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo in midfield.

In August 2006, he received a call-up from new Italy coach Roberto Donadoni against Croatia, but did not play. That match Giulio Falcone, Christian Terlizzi, Gennaro Delvecchio, Massimo Gobbi, Angelo Palombo and Tommaso Rocchi also received their first call-up.[17]
