Fausto Rossi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfausto ˈrossi]; born 3 December 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Serie C Group A club Vicenza.

Club career

[edit]

Juventus

[edit]

Born in Turin, Italy, Rossi joined the Juventus F.C. Youth Sector in 1999, at the age of 8. After progressing through the club's youth academy, Rossi joined the Primavera (Under-20) roster in 2008 and also began to earn senior call-ups during the 2008-09 Serie A campaign, under Claudio Ranieri. Rossi also helped the Primavera squad to win two consecutive Viareggio titles in 2009 and 2010.

Vicenza

[edit]

After graduating the club's youth system, Rossi was sent out to Serie B side, Vicenza Calcio in a co-ownership deal on 22 July 2010[1] in order to gain regular first team experience. The 50% registration rights for the player were valued at €500,000.[2] In the same negotiation, Juventus signed Niko Bianconi from Vicenza, also on a co-ownership deal also valued at €500,000.[2] (both valued as €492,000 in Juve's financial statements[1]) Rossi went on to make 16 league appearances for the Serie B outfit in his debut season as a professional, and ultimately remained at the club for the 2011–12 Serie B season.

Juventus return, loans

[edit]

On 30 January 2012, however, Rossi was re-purchased entirely by Juventus for €1.7 million in a 2+1⁄2-year contract, with Carlo Pinsoglio moving to Vicenza Calcio for €1.5 million in co-ownership as part of the deal.[3] After returning to Juventus, Rossi was immediately loaned out to Brescia Calcio.[4] With the outfit, Rossi scored 3 goals in 12 appearances for the club during the second half of the 2011–12 season. On 1 July 2012 he signed a new 4-year contract.[3][5] Rossi's loan deal with Brescia was also renewed on 31 July and Rossi remained a key figure in Brescia's 6th-place finish in the 2012–13 Serie B season, which ultimately saw the club lose out to Livorno in the promotion play-off semi-finals.

Rossi returned to Juventus in June 2013, but signed a one-year loan deal with La Liga side Real Valladolid on 29 August.[6] He scored his first goal on 8 March of the following year, netting the winner against FC Barcelona.[7]

On 31 July 2014 Rossi transferred to newly promoted La Liga team Córdoba CF, also in a temporary deal.[8]

On 31 August 2015 Rossi was swapped with Cristian Bunino of F.C. Pro Vercelli 1892, which Bunino returned to Juventus from loan.

Trapani

[edit]

On 9 January 2017 signed a contract with Trapani Calcio until the end of season.[9]

Reggiana

[edit]

On 18 July 2019, he signed with a newly promoted Serie C club Reggiana.[10]

Return to Vicenza

[edit]

On 24 August 2023, Rossi returned to Vicenza and signed a two-year contract.[11]

International career

[edit]

In 2006 Rossi earned his first call-up to represent his country for the Italy U-17 team. He went on to make 2 appearances for the side, before making 3 additional appearances for the Italy U-20 team between 2008 and 2009. Rossi really made his mark, however, with the Italy U-21 national team, where he was first called up to represent Italy at the 2011 Toulon Tournament, making his debut on 1 June 2011 in a 2–0 victory over the Ivory Coast. He has since been a regular for the side, making 24 appearances and scoring 1 goal. Rossi was a part of the roster that finished runner-up in the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship in June 2013, where he was a starter alongside Marco Verratti in the centre of Italy's midfield.
