Alessandro Pierini (born 22 March 1973) is an Italian retired footballer who played as a defender.

After playing for several clubs in his country, mainly Udinese, he finished his professional career in Spain, where he represented Racing de Santander and Córdoba.

Club career

Born in Viareggio, Province of Lucca, Pierini began his professional career with Udinese Calcio, making his debut in 1991 and moving on loan to Fidelis Andria four years later. He joined ACF Fiorentina in 1999,[1] and turned down a move to English side West Ham United in the summer of 2001 due to personal reasons,[2] instead choosing to sign for Reggina Calcio after the bankruptcy of the Viola in 2002, and signed with Parma AC in January 2003.

After a second spell with Udinese, Pierini moved to Spain at already 31, joining Racing de Santander.[3] After only five La Liga matches he was released in the next transfer window and moved to Córdoba CF in Segunda División,[4] being relegated in that season and promoting in his third, always as an undisputed starter.[5]

In July 2009, with Córdoba consolidated in the second level, Pierini retired from playing at the age of 36, but stayed connected with his last club, immediately being named its assistant manager. In the 2012 summer, after one year with the reserves,[6] he had his first head coach experience away from the club, being appointed at amateurs CD Ronda.[7]

International career

Pierini made one appearance for the Italian national team, playing in the 1–2 friendly loss with Argentina on 28 February 2001.[8]
