About Andrea Raggi
Andrea Raggi (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛːa ˈraddʒi]; born 24 June 1984) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a defender. He was a versatile player, being capable of playing both as a centre back and as a right back. == Club career == Raggi started his footballing career with Empoli, where he spent a total of four seasons with the first team. === Palermo === On 28 May 2008, Empoli announced his sale to Palermo for €7 million on a four-year contract. His failure to break into the first team led Palermo to send Raggi out on loan to a number of teams. In January 2009 he joined Sampdoria, then moving again to spend the whole of the 2009–10 season with Bologna. ==== Bari loan ==== In July 2010, he was loaned out for a third consecutive time, joining Bari. He was out-favoured by Giampiero Ventura in mid-season, who originally expected Raggi to play as a centre-back. Instead, Raggi was the starting right-back as Andrea Masiello, originally a right-back, remained as a temporary centre-back which Masiello already played since January 2010. He also played as a left-back to replace Alessandro Parisi against Roma on 12 December.
