During his time in Genoa C.F.C. he was noted for kissing a policewoman on the sideline after a goal.[1] He also helped the club to lift the 1996 Anglo-Italian Cup.
In the Serie B 2005–06 playoffs he scored a goal that gave his Torino F.C. a promotion to Serie A. In the 2006/07 season of Serie B his good play for Spezia Calcio in the last few games contributed to Spezia avoiding relegation.
