[edit] Career
[edit] Juventus
After working through the Juventus youth ranks, Bianco was one of several academy youngsters called up to the Juventus first team for their season in Serie B, in the aftermath of Calciopoli. On 14 April 2007, he made his first team and league debut, coming on as a 69th minute substitute for Raffaele Palladino in the 3–1 win away at U.S. Lecce. He managed 4 appearances in Serie B and scored his first goal in the last matchday, a 3–2 loss to Spezia.
[edit] Loan Stints
After Juventus were promoted back to Serie A for the 2007–08 season, Bianco was loaned out to Piacenza Calcio in the Italian Serie B, to gain first team experience. After a successful season with Piacenza, Bianco was loaned out to A.S. Bari, then coached by Juventus legend Antonio Conte, and helped the Galletti win promotion to Serie A. In June 2009, Bianco returned to Juventus F.C. but was immediately loaned out to Serie B club Modena F.C. due to the competition in midfield. The central midfielder enjoyed a positive season with Modena, in which he was a regular in the club's starting line-up making over 30 appearances during the season, also scoring. Following a return to Juventus in July 2010, Bianco was not called up to the pre-season training camp under new coach Luigi Delneri. On July 22, 2010, Bianco was sent out on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Benevento Calcio, and also signed a new 3-year contract with Juventus, last until 2013.[1] He made 24 appearances for the club, and on 23 June 2011, Bianco was hired back permanently by Juventus after Benevento announced that they did not wish to sign him outright[2].
[edit] Spezia
On 7 July 2011 he moved to Spezia in co-ownership deal.[3]
