[edit] Club career

Corini started his career in the Brescia youth squad, but he soon joined the first team, being called to be part it of when just 16 years old, making his debut the following season. He became a regular for the Lombardian team in both 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons, before being noted and signed by Juventus.

In his first season with Juventus, just 20 years old, Corini played 25 times and scored one goal.

In 1992–93, Corini was sold to Sampdoria, where he had 24 appearances, and several injury problems. In the next few years, Corini moved from team to team almost every season (Brescia again, Piacenza and Verona) without however being able to show his full potential.

In October 1998, Verona loaned him to city rivals Chievo Verona, in Serie B. Corini soon became a mainstay of the team, being named captain and leading his team to an extraordinary promotion to Serie A in 2001 and a UEFA Cup qualification the following season, after having being first-placed at the winter break.

Corini joined Palermoin 2003, helping the Sicilian team win the 2003–04 Serie B league, followed by a UEFA Cup qualification the following season. In June 2007, he announced he was not going to renew his contract with Palermo, and a few days later he was signed by Torino, aged 37.[1]

[edit] International career

Corini became a regular also in the Under-21 national team squad of the early 1990s, winning a Youth European Championship and representing Italy in the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona.

Despite his success for Italy at the youth levels and at club level, he has never been capped for the full national team in a career spanning almost two decades. However, he did receive call-ups during 1992–93, and more recently on November 2002.
