[edit] Club career
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 Daniele moved to A.C. Milan for a transfer fee of about $2.5 million.
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 struggled with a niggling injury in the second half of the 2008-09, joining Alessandro Nesta and Kakha Kaladze on the treatment table.
[edit] International career
He was called up by Roberto Donadoni for Italy's Euro 2008 Qualifier against Scotland, a match scheduled for 28 March 2007, but had to withdraw due to injury.
He has been capped 16 times for Italy. He has also been capped 34 times at U-21 international level.
At youth level he capped for both 2002 and 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He also played at 2000 Toulon Tournament.
