Moreno Merenda, (born 17 May 1978), is a Swiss footballer, currently playing for FC Vaduz.

Career

Merenda was born in Baar, and began his football career at home town club FC Baar. He made the transition to professional football in 1995, moving to the Swiss team FC Luzern. After signing for Liechtenstein-based FC Vaduz in 2001, Merenda enjoyed two personally successful seasons, where he managed to earn the interest of his next club FC St. Gallen. Although unable to secure a regular place in the lineup, he regularly scored for his side. He was thus held in high regard by fans and the press.

Being unhappy with the personal situation in St. Gallen, the club made the striker available for loan in December 2005.

In January 2006, Merenda joined FC Schaffhausen on trial.

The 2006–2007 season saw Merenda on top form again as he hit 22 goals in 34 appearances for his new club Neuchâtel Xamax, helping them earn promotion to the Swiss Super League. Having made 65 appearances for Xamax over two seasons, he rejoined his former club St. Gallen for the 2008-2009 season.

International life

In his youth, Merenda also won Swiss U-21 honours.
