About Mattia Cassani
Mattia Cassani is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender. In June 2003 Cassani left for Hellas Verona on loan with an option to buy him outright for €800,000, Cassani was awarded the number 83 shirt. On 6 April 2008, Cassani scored his first professional goal, a late 28-yard shot which gave Palermo a 3–2 home win against his former club Juventus, ending a string of four consecutive defeats. Cassani also served as team captain during the first period of the 2010–11 season due to the absence of both Fabrizio Miccoli and Fabio Liverani. In May 2009, Cassani got his first senior national call-up to play for Italy against Northern Ireland, but did not make his debut on that occasion.
