Career

In the club

Luca Caldirola started playing football at the age of five. Caldirola was discovered by Inter Milan at the age of eight and then went through all of the Nerazzurri youth teams, some of which he led as captain. He won two national titles, but also the Torneo di Viareggio in 2008.

Caldirola gained his first match in Inter's senior team in 2009 when he was substituted on in a friendly against AC Milan . For the 2010/11 season he was loaned to the Dutch first division club Vitesse Arnhem for a year . At Vitesse, he made eleven league appearances before returning to the Nerazzurri .

On July 1, 2011, Inter engaged the Japanese Yūto Nagatomo from AC Cesena . For this they left Cesena u. a. half of the transfer rights from Caldirola and from youth player Luca Garritano . Both clubs agreed that the two players would stay in Milan for the time being. On December 7, 2011, Luca Caldirola made his competitive debut for the first team of the Nerazzurri in the Champions League group phase against CSKA Moscow .

In January 2012, Caldirola was loaned to the Serie B club Brescia Calcio until the end of the season. In the 2012/13 season he ran in the first half of the season for AC Cesena, while he was loaned to Brescia again in the second half of the season.

In the summer of 2013, the German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen signed Caldirola. Bremen's defense chief Sokratis had previously left the club. His place should be taken by a new signing who, like Caldirola, has a strong left foot and experience. In Bremen Caldirola was initially a regular player and played 33 Bundesliga games in his first season. Only on the 23rd match day he was not used because of a yellow card suspension.

In the 2014/15 season , however, he lost his regular place. The new coach Viktor Skripnik did not use him at all in the second half of the season. He was then awarded to Bundesliga promoted SV Darmstadt 98 for the 2015/16 season . There he played all 34 games of the season from the first to the last minute. He then returned to Werder Bremen.

On the second match day of the 2016/17 season on September 11, 2016, Caldirola suffered a broken ankle while playing against FC Augsburg . In the third first division game after his injury break, he suffered a metatarsal fracture on April 7, 2017 while playing at Eintracht Frankfurt and was again out for the rest of the season. Also because coach Alexander Nouri praised him as an important player with good regular place chances, Caldirola extended his contract by two years. However, Nouri only used it in one game. Under his successor Florian Kohfeldt , Caldirola no longer played a role.

Caldirola has not been part of the Bundesliga squad since the 2018/19 season. After he had not found a club in the summer transfer period, he joined the team training of the second team that played in the fourth-rate Regionalliga Nord in September 2018 . However, it was not used.

At the end of January 2019, Caldirola returned to his homeland and joined the second division side Benevento Calcio .

In the national team

Luca Caldirola went through all of Italy's youth national teams from the U-16 selection . He made his debut for his country's U-21 team on November 17, 2010 against the Turkish U-21 team . In June 2013 he won the runner -up title at the U-21 European Football Championship in Israel with the team coached by Devis Mangia , after losing 4-2 in Spain in the final . After the tournament, Caldirola was elected to the 23-player all-star team.
