Club career

Brescia

Bonera started his career for Brescia Calcio, making his first team debut in 1999–2000, in Serie B league. After two more impressive seasons with Brescia, which even led him to be capped for the Italy national football team, making his debut in a friendly match played September 5, 2001 against Morocco, Bonera moved to Parma in 2002–03.

On the 28 July 2006, Bonera moved to A.C. Milan[1] for €3.3 million.[2]

Milan

His UEFA Champions League debut was against Anderlecht, 17 October 2006, in which he received a red card after receiving a second yellow in the 47th minute for what, in the referees view, was petulantly kicking the ball away as Anderlecht waited to take a free kick. After struggling at right back, Bonera was moved to centre back after several defenders were injured and the acquisition of Massimo Oddo from S.S. Lazio in January, a natural right back. Bonera slotted in well at centre back, becoming one of Milan's better players.

Bonera struggled with a niggling injury in the second half of the 2008–09, joining Alessandro Nesta and Kakha Kaladze on the treatment table. In September 2009, he signed a contract extension which will last until 2013.[3]

After a 10 month lay-off, Bonera made a successful 45minute comeback against Novara in the Coppa Italia on 13 January 2010. Because of Milan's great central defensive partnership of Alessandro Nesta and Thiago Silva, Bonera was deployed at his former position, right back. Bonera slotted in well at right back, playing much better in that position than when he first joined Milan. Because of this Bonera became Milan's starting right back but when Gianluca Zambrotta, Luca Antonini and Massimo Oddo all returned from injury, he lost his place as starting right back. However when Alessandro Nesta once again found himself on the treatment table, coach Leonardo chose Bonera to fill in for him. However, after a string of poor performances, Bonera was again demoted to the bench.

International career

At youth level he capped for both 2002 and 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He also played at the 2000 Toulon Tournament. He has been capped 34 times at U-21 international level.

He has been capped 16 times for Italy. After made his senior debut on September 5, 2001 against Morocco, he made his non-friendly debut under Marcello Lippi at 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification.

He was call-up to 2006 FIFA World Cup squad as reserve player, but after Gianluca Zambrotta was confirmed he was fit, Bonera was sent home.[4]

After 06 World Cup, he was re-called for the first time under Roberto Donadoni, for Euro 2008 Qualifier against Scotland, a match scheduled for 28 March 2007,[5] but had to withdraw due to injury.[6] In October and November 2007 he was called-up again.[7][8] Which he played against 10 World Cup host South Africa with experimental squad and substituted Fabio Cannavaro against Faroe Islands. He was not selected to UEFA Euro 2008.

After Lippi became Italy coach for the second time, he was re-called in the first few matches.[9][10] After the injury, he was call up to the last friendly before the formal announcement of 2010 FIFA World Cup squad, against Cameroon.[11][12] He failed to enter the preliminary squad on 11 may and the training camp on 4–5 May.[13]
