Fiori is currently retired from professional football and will pursue a career in law. He has made only two official appearances in eight seasons with the club: a 4-2 loss in Serie A to
Piacenza Calcio , and a 1-0Coppa Italia win overU.C. Sampdoria as a first-half injury replacement forChristian Abbiati . Milan vice-presidentAdriano Galliani stated that Fiori's lengthy stint at the club, despite his lack of playing time, was due to his professional conduct.Before AC Milan, he played for Lodigiani (1 season), Lazio (6 seasons), Cagliari (3 seasons), Cesena, Fiorentina and Piacenza (1 season apiece). It was because of his impressive performances with Piacenza that Milan decided to sign him, although at the time they already had
Sebastiano Rossi and Abbiati in their ranks. Though he made four appearances for Italy's Under-21 squad, Fiori was never called up for the senior side.He was Milan's starting keeper in a 2-2 friendly draw with
Dynamo Kiev on September 6, 2007, which marked his first full match with the "Rossoneri" since a 1-1 draw withChelsea F.C. in a friendly on August 1, 2005.Trivia
