Daniele Bonera, Ufficiale OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [daˈnjɛle boˈnɛra]; born 31 May 1981) is an Italian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Villarreal as a central defender.

Club career

Brescia

Bonera signed for Brescia in 1995 and played at the youth teams of Brescia until the end of 1998–99 season, where he made his first team debut for Brescia in 1999–2000. He played a total of 72 games in his three seasons with Brescia.[1]

Parma

Bonera signed for Parma in July of 2002. He played 32 Serie A games and scored a goal during his first season at Parma in 2002–03. In his following three seasons with Parma, he played 98 games of which 82 were in the Serie A. On 28 July 2006, Bonera moved to Milan[1] in a €3.3 million transfer deal.[2]

Milan

Bonera's UEFA Champions League came against Belgian side Anderlecht on 17 October 2006, in which he received a red card after receiving a second yellow in the 47th minute for what, in the referee's view, was petulantly kicking the ball away as Anderlecht waited to take a free kick. After struggling at right back, Bonera was moved to centre back after several defenders were injured, and after the acquisition of Massimo Oddo from Lazio in January, a natural right back. Bonera slotted in well at centre back, becoming one of Milan's better players. However, he struggled with a niggling injury in the second half of the 2008–09 season, joining Alessandro Nesta and Kakha Kaladze on the treatment table. In September 2009, he signed a contract extension which will last until 2013.[3]

After a ten-month injury lay-off, Bonera made a successful 45-minute comeback against Novara in the Coppa Italia on 13 January 2010. Because of Milan's great central defensive partnership of Alessandro Nesta and Thiago Silva, Bonera was deployed at his former position, right back. He slotted in well, playing much better in that position than when he first joined Milan. Because of this, Bonera became Milan's starting right back, but when Gianluca Zambrotta, Luca Antonini and Massimo Oddo all returned from injury, he lost his starting place in the position. When Nesta once again found himself on the treatment table, however, coach Leonardo chose Bonera to fill in for him in central defence.

On 23 May 2013, amid speculation of a move to Juventus, Bonera signed a new contract with Milan until 30 June 2015. During these two years, he mainly played as a backup player to first-choice centre-backs Philippe Mexès and Alex.

Villarreal

At the end of his deal with Milan, Bonera was released and was linked with a move to newly promoted Carpi,[4] though he instead joined Spanish La Liga club Villarreal.

International career

At youth level, Bonera was capped for both 2002 and 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He also played at the 2000 Toulon Tournament. He has been capped 34 times at U-21 international level.

He has been capped 16 times for the Italian senior team. After he made his senior debut on 5 September 2001 against Morocco, he made his non-friendly debut under Marcello Lippi at 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification.

He was called-up to 2006 FIFA World Cup squad as reserve player, but after Gianluca Zambrotta was confirmed to be fit, Bonera was sent home.[5]

After the 2006 World Cup, he was re-called for the first time under new manager Roberto Donadoni, ahead of the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier against Scotland, a match scheduled for 28 March 2007.[6] However, he had to withdraw due to injury.[7] In October and November 2007, he was called up again.[8][9] He played against future 2010 FIFA World Cup hosts South Africa with an experimental Italy squad, coming on as a substitute for Fabio Cannavaro against the Faroe Islands. He was not selected for Euro 2008.

After Marcello Lippi became Italy coach for the second time, Bonera was re-called in Lippi's first few matches.[10][11] After the injury, Bonera was called-up to the last friendly before the formal announcement of Italy's 2010 World Cup squad, against Cameroon.[12][13] He failed to enter the preliminary squad on 11 May and the training camp on 4–5 May.[14]
