Career

In the club

Caligiuri had started playing football at BSV Schwenningen before moving to the youth department of VfB Stuttgart . There he came after his football training for the second team in the summer of 2003 in the Regionalliga Süd and thus for the first time in the men's area. He came to a total of 63 third division games, in which he scored five goals. During the winter break of the 2005/06 season , the midfielder moved to MSV Duisburg on loan . On his Bundesliga debut, he scored the 1-0 winning goal for MSV in a game against his former club VfB Stuttgart, but was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga with the club at the end of the season .

For the 2007/08 season Caligiuri did not return to Stuttgart and joined SpVgg Greuther Fürth . In the 2009/10 season he was able to earn a regular place in the defensive midfield for the Franconians and made 41 competitive games in three years. The German-Italian was then committed to the Bundesliga club 1. FSV Mainz 05 for the 2010/11 season and received a three-year contract. For the 05er Caligiuri stood eighty times and was successful in front of goal five times; in the unsuccessful qualifying matches for the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League against Gaz Metan Mediaş , he was active for the first time in the European Cup. In the summer of 2012, the defensive player moved within the Bundesliga to the promoted Eintracht Braunschweig , with whom he signed a two-year contract that was only valid for the first Bundesliga. Due to injury, he only played thirteen league games and left Eintracht after relegation in the spring of 2013 due to the previously agreed contractual clause.

Subsequently, Caligiuri returned to Greuther Fürth. On the 7th matchday of the 2014/15 season he was able to earn a regular place again, but this time mainly in central defense. A year later he was named team captain and completed 33 of 35 compulsory games. In the following years, the defensive player was placed under changing head coaches in the Fürths defensive association, had to give up his armband to Balázs Megyeri for three months in the summer of 2017 , but was appointed captain again after his injury. In May 2019, he received a contract extension until June 2020. One year later, during the game break ordered due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the game association announced that it had no longer extended the contract of the now 36-year-old, which expired at the end of the season. By then, Caligiuri had made 214 mandatory appearances for the club, in which he had eight goals and three assists.
