Marco Di Vaio
| Biography |
"Marco Di Vaio (born July 15, 1976 in Rome) is an Italian football (soccer) striker, who currently plays for Valencia in the Spanish La Liga.
Di Vaio has played for Lazio (1994-95), Hellas Verona (1996), Bari (1996-97), Salernitana (1997-99), Parma (1999-2002), Juventus (2002-04) and Valencia (2004-).
He was a revelation at Salernitana, leading them to their second promotion to the Serie A in 1997-98. Despite Salernitana relegating the following season, Di Vaio remained in the first league, after being purchased by Parma. He scored an impressive number of goals for the Gialloblou and he went on to become 2nd best scorer of the league in his third season for the team. Juventus won the race to sign him during the following summer (2002), but Di Vaio never really got going while at Juve, mainly because of the immense competition for a first-team place. Still, he won one scudetto with the Italian giants. Di Vaio then moved to Valencia, where he became the best scorer for the Spanish side, despite managing a mere eleven goals in La Liga. However, this year his presence in the first team line-up of Valencia has been constricted by the arrivals of Patrick Kluivert and David Villa. He is being tipped to move back to Italy in January.
