Career

Playing

A midfielder, Madonna made his professional debut in 1981 for Atalanta; he then spent five seasons with Piacenza before to return to Bergamo in 1988. He then played for Lazio during the 1990–91 season; this was followed by two spells at Piacenza and SPAL.

In 1993, at the age of 30, Madonna accepted to return to his hometown of Alzano Lombardo, joining local team Alzano Virescit, who were playing Serie D at the time of his signing. He spent a total of nine consecutive seasons with Alzano, being protagonist of the team's rise into the highest ranks of Italian football, including a historical promotion to Serie B in 1998–99.

Coaching

On 2003, Madonna was appointed as youth team coach of AlbinoLeffe's Under-19 ("Primavera") squad. On May 26, 2008 he was surprisingly appointed as new head coach of the "seriani", following the dismissal of Elio Gustinetti, with only one game left before of the end of the regular season.

He was recently confirmed as AlbinoLeffe boss for the 2008–09 season.
