Federico Peluso (Italian pronunciation: [fedeˈriːko peˈluːzo]; born 20 January 1984) is an Italian professional football coach and former player who is a technical assistant for Serie B club Monza. He played as a left back for various Serie A clubs and the Italy national team.

Peluso began his youth career at Petriana, in Rome. He later moved to Lazio, but was subsequently released.[citation needed]

In 2001, he joined Pro Vercelli, where he played three full seasons. In 2004 summer he joined Ternana, and after two years in the club, he was bought from AlbinoLeffe, being promoted with the Bergamo club.[citation needed] However, in his second season, he had a fallout with the club's ownership, and was removed from squad. In January 2009, Peluso joined Atalanta, as an exchange for Karamoko Cissé.[2]

On 8 March 2009, Peluso made his Serie A debut, playing against AC Milan.[3] On 25 October, he made his first top flight goal, against Parma.[4]

On 3 January 2013, Peluso joined Juventus on a six-month loan, with a view to a permanent transfer after the period. He spent the second half of the 2012–13 campaign on loan with the Bianconeri, and his performances earned him a permanent transfer and a contract until June 2017, as Juventus captured the league title. In June 2013, Juventus announced that they had completed the signing of Federico Peluso from Atalanta for a transfer fee of €4.8 million. After the end of the 2013–14 season, Serie A side Sassuolo announced that they acquired Peluso outright, as part of the deal that brought Luca Marrone back to Juventus.[5]

International career

On 10 August 2012, after his impressive performances on Atalanta, Peluso (alongside teammates Andrea Consigli, Manolo Gabbiadini and Ezequiel Schelotto) was called from manager Cesare Prandelli to the Italy national squad.[6] Five days later, he made his debut, in a friendly loss against England.[7] On 11 September, he scored his first international goal, in a 2–0 home win in a World Cup qualifier against Malta.[8]

Managerial career

On 17 October 2022, Peluso was appointed technical assistant of newly-promoted Serie A side Monza.[9]
