Marco Calamita (born March 22, 1983 in Bitonto or Bari ) is an Italian football player who also has German citizenship .

Career

Childhood and youth

Marco Calamita was born in Bitonto or Bari and spent the first eight years of his life in Apulia , where he got to know the game of football and played on the streets. Then he emigrated with his parents to Fellbach near Stuttgart . There Calamita first joined a football club, SV Fellbach . From there he went to the youth of the Stuttgarter Kickers and later to VfB Stuttgart .

Senior area

With the winter break of the 2002/03 season he moved to the second team of his former club Stuttgarter Kickers. He then went to Westphalia to join the SC Verl in 2004 . As a regular player, he scored 17 goals this season and aroused the interest of higher-class clubs. The next two years he played in the regional league for SV Elversberg . In 2006 he moved to 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the amateur team. During the winter break he switched from the relegation candidate to the ambitious SV Wehen . The Wehen were champions and were promoted, but Calamita had no commitment and did not get a contract for the 2nd Bundesliga. In the 2007/08 season he played in the Regionalliga for SC Pfullendorf and was the team's top scorer with twelve goals. Nevertheless, the club was far from qualifying for the new single-track 3rd division . He did not go into the fourth division, but found another third division team as an employer in SV Wacker Burghausen . In the 2008/09 season he was the record player in the newly founded 3rd division with 38 appearances and with eleven goals this season he was again the most successful goalscorer of the team that narrowly escaped relegation.

In 2009 he moved within the league to Eintracht Braunschweig , where he was again a regular player and successful goalscorer in the first year. In the following year, however, he was overshadowed by his much more successful storm colleagues: he switched between the first and second team of Lower Saxony. When the club was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga at the end of the season, he received no contract for the higher league.

In the summer of 2011, Calamita moved to VfR Aalen , where he signed a two-year contract until June 2013. In the first half of the season he was used there regularly, then pulled a cruciate ligament and was out for the rest of the season. Aalen rose as second in the table in the 2nd Bundesliga. Calamita received his first second division appearance after surviving an injury break on March 3, 2013 (24th matchday) in Aalen's 0-1 defeat against FC St. Pauli , when he was substituted on in the closing stages of the encounter. In the further course of the second half of the season Calamita came on five more missions after substitutions, in which he gave two assists. His contract, which expired at the end of the season, was not renewed.

After four months without a club, Calamita returned to the Stuttgarter Kickers in November 2013 , for whose second team he had played ten years earlier. The third division responded by signing a number of injuries in the team.

After relegating to the regional league with Kickers, he left the club in the summer of 2016.

National team

Shortly after his 18th birthday, he received an invitation from Uli Stielike to attend a course for Germany's U-18 national team . There was no use in that age group and other German U-national teams because he decided against the German citizenship.

successes

  • Promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga: 2007 with SV Wehen, 2011 with Eintracht Braunschweig, 2012 with VfR Aalen
