Massimo Maccarone (born September 6, 1979 in Galliate ) is an Italian football player .
Career
In the club
He began his career in the youth of AC Milan . Between 1998 and 2000 he played on loan for the clubs FC Modena , AC Prato and AS Varese in Serie C , before he was signed by Serie B club FC Empoli from 2000 to 2002 .
In 2002, the offensive all-rounder, who mainly plays by storm, moved to Middlesbrough FC in the English Premier League . In the 2004/05 season he was first awarded to FC Parma and in the return series to AC Siena in the Italian Serie A , before he returned to FC Middlesbrough for the 2005/06 season.
In the 2005/06 UEFA Cup , Maccarone scored the decisive fourth goal for his team in the quarter-final and semi-final second leg and thus played a decisive role in the final of Middlesbrough FC. In January 2007 he left Middlesbrough and returned to AC Siena. In June 2010 he signed a three-year contract with US Palermo with an option for an additional year. At Palermo Maccarone received regular match practice, but was rarely in the starting line-up, which is why he changed clubs again in the next transfer period by joining Sampdoria Genoa .
In the summer of 2012, Maccarone moved again to FC Empoli, initially on loan. This signed him shortly afterwards. In Empoli, Maccarone became a top performer and later also team captain . In the 2013/14 season he was promoted to Serie A with the team. After Francesco Tavano, he is the most successful goalscorer in the club's history.
In the summer of 2017, Maccarone moved to Brisbane Roar .
In the national team
In 2002 Maccarone played two games for the Italian national team . In his debut on March 21 in a 2-1 win over England in Leeds , he was the first Serie B player in 20 years to appear on the Italian national team.
