Career
In the club
The career of Swiss football player Marco Padalino began at FC Lugano . Because of the bankruptcy of the club in March 2003 Padalino had to change clubs, he came under Malcantone Agno in the Challenge League . Roberto Morinini , his former coach in Lugano , arranged the transfer to Italy to Catania Calcio in January 2004 , where Padalino was often used, especially at the beginning. In 2005 he left Sicily for Piacenza Calcio . In the small town in northern Italy he developed into a top performer, aroused the interest of various clubs from Italy's top division with strong performances over the course of four years .
In the summer of 2008, the midfielder made the big leap into Serie A. Sampdoria Genoa let his commitment cost the equivalent of four million francs . In 2010 he played with the Ligurians in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League play-offs . Just a year later, he relegated his club to Serie B , but in spring 2012 managed to get promoted back to the top Italian league after winning the play-off final against Varese Calcio. In Serie A, however, Padalino no longer played a role in the plans of the new coach Ciro Ferrara and switched to Vicenza Calcio in Serie B at the beginning of September 2012. From 2014 to 2018 he played in FC Lugano.
