Daniele Dessena (born 10 May 1987)[1] is an Italian footballer who plays for Serie A club Cagliari, on loan from Sampdoria.

[edit] Club career

Dessena began his football career in the youth ranks of Parma and made his official debut in the first team on 27 February 2005 against Lazio.[2] Since then, he played 81 games scoring 5 goals in the Emilian shirt.

In the summer of 2008 he arrived at Sampdoria where he played for one season (25 appearances and 2 goals) before transferring to Cagliari.

He then returned back to the city of Genoa, playing 22 games in 2010–11 for Sampdoria.

Having made only 8 appearances in 2011–12, he was loaned back to Cagliari in January for the remainder of the season.[3]

From 2006 to 2009, he was a member of the Italy U-21's, coached by Pierluigi Casiraghi. He played for Italy at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In May 2009, he was called-up to the European Championships but only made substitute appearances as second choice behind Luca Cigarini and Claudio Marchisio.
