Carlo Gervasoni (born 4 January 1982) is a former Italian footballer who played as a defender. His career ended in 2011 after a ban from football due to his involvement in the 2011 Italian football match-fixing scandal; the ban is set to end in 2018.

Career

[edit]

Gervasoni started his career at a small Lombard club Como. In mid-2001, Gervasoni and Marco Mallus joined South Tyrol of Serie C2; concurrently Luigi Crisopulli returned to Como.[1] During his three seasons with Tyrol, Gervasoni was a regular starter. In June 2004 Como bought back Gervasoni outright for €120,000[2][3][4] but sold to Geona for free.[4] But Genoa immediately sold him to Verona in another co-ownership deal, for €500,000.[4][5] Although he just played 24 matches, Verona sign him permanently. After he played another 24 matches, he left for fellow Serie B Bari in co-ownership deal. Luigi Anaclerio also joined Verona also in co-ownership on the same day.[6] In June Verona bought back Gervasoni.

In August 2007, he joined Albinoleffe in another co-ownership deal, for €560,000.[7][8] He signed a 3-year contract. Gervasoni back to play as a regular starter and he secured a permanent deal in June 2008 for another €95,000.[7][9]

On 31 August 2009, Gervasoni was exchanged with Dario Passoni. After the relegation and bankruptcy of Mantova, he joined Cremonese.[10] In January 2011 he left for Serie B club Piacenza. Francesco Bini also joined Cremonese in exchange.[11]

He was banned from football activity for five years due to involvement in the 2011 Italian football scandal;[12] an additional one-year and 8 months was added in May 2012;[13] four more months were added in August,[14] meaning Gervasoni will serve a 7-year ban.
