Manuel Belleri (born 29 August 1977) is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender. Since 2016 he is a technical director of A.C. Milan Academy Tokyo and resides in Tokyo, Japan.[1]
Belleri started his career at Lumezzane. He played in Serie A for Empoli in the 2002–03 season. When Empoli failed to protect his place in 2004, Belleri, Di Natale and Cribari were sold to Udinese in a co-ownership deal, with Almirón and Nomvethe moving in the opposite direction.[2] Cribari and Belleri were sold to S.S. Lazio the next year. Belleri signed a 4-year contract in another co-ownership deal for €250,000 transfer fee. In June 2006, Belleri, Cribari, Pandev and Mauri were acquired outright from Udinese for €400,000, €3 million, €4 million and €3 million respectively.[3][4]
In the mid-2007, Belleri was loaned to Atalanta B.C.[5] After the game against A.C. Milan on 25 January 2009, Bologna F.C. 1909 announced the signing of Belleri on loan.[6]
