Alessandro Capello (born 12 December 1995) is an Italian footballer who plays as a forward for Serie C Group A club Vicenza on loan from Arezzo.
Having begun his career at Bologna, he then moved to Cagliari and gained experience with a loan to Varese. Capello has represented Italy at youth international levels up to the under-19 team.
Bologna
Born in Bologna, Capello began his career at hometown club Bologna F.C. 1909. He made his debut on 28 November 2012 in the fourth round of the Coppa Italia, a 1–0 win over Livorno at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, replacing Luca Veratti for the final 14 minutes of the game.[2] Aged 16, it was his only appearance for the club.
Inter
In June 2013, Inter Milan bought half the player's rights from Bologna (a co-ownership deal with Bologna), for €2.5 million (50% registration rights of Andrea Bandini and Andrea Romanò, plus €200,000 cash).[3][4][5] In his only season with the Inter Primavera Youth side, he made 26 appearances in all competitions, scoring 8 goals between Primavera League, Coppa Italia and Torneo di Viareggio matches.[6] Bologna and Inter bought back all their player's rights in June 2014 for the original price.[7][6]
Cagliari
On 2 July 2014, Capello moved to Cagliari for €4 million from Bologna (€1 million cash plus defender Marios Oikonomou).[7][8][9] Having been an unused substitute in 14 Serie A matches and one cup match, he made his debut for the Sardinian club on 14 January 2015 in the last 16 of the season's cup, a 2–1 loss at Parma. He was substituted after 56 minutes for Marco Sau, who scored Cagliari's goal.[10]
Capello was loaned to Serie B club Varese for the remainder of the season on 2 February 2015.[11][12] More often an unused substitute, he made four appearances for the team from Lombardy, of which only one was a start: a 1–0 defeat at Crotone on 10 May, in which he was replaced by Luca Miracoli with 15 minutes remaining.[13]
On 31 August 2015, Capello left for Lega Pro club Prato in a temporary deal.[14][15] Capello's number 16 shirt[16] was also taken by youngster Davide Arras.
On 25 July 2016, Capello was signed by Olbia.[17] The club also signed some youth products from Cagliari.
