[edit] Club career
In 2000, Tonetto's career came to a shift when he moved to Lecce, where he became team captain in 2003.
From 2004 to 2006, he enjoyed great success at Serie A side Sampdoria, where he got his first taste of European football in the UEFA Cup. After the end of his contract with Sampdoria, he signed a two-year deal with Roma. He has played more than 300 Serie A games.
Max Tonetto scored his first goal for A.S Roma during a match against Empoli in the 2007-2008 season, by completing Totti's pass and scoring a wonderful goal.
In his first season with Roma he showed good performances as a left-back. Although in his thirties, Tonetto is still, despite injuries, able to produce great and outstanding performances.
On 11 March 2009, he blasted Roma's eighth and final penalty into the stands in the shootout against Arsenal, which meant Roma were knocked out of the Champions League, failing to progress to the quarter finals.
