Mirko Pieri (born 24 July 1978) is an Italian football manager and former player, who played as a defender or midfielder.
Pieri joined Sampdoria in July 2006 along with Fabio Quagliarella, as part of the deal to sign Salvatore Foti.[1] In June 2008 Sampdoria acquired Pieri outright.
Pieri was then signed by Livorno in July 2009 for €300,000.[2] [3]
Pieri had a trial at the English Football League Championship club Middlesbrough F.C. in 2010, but Boro boss Gordon Strachan stated on the club's official website that Pieri will not be offered a deal.
Primarily a left-sided attacking full-back or wing-back, Pieri was also capable of playing in a more advanced midfield role as a winger, on either flank, due to his dynamism, work-rate, energy, and tactical versatility, and was effective both offensively and defensively.[4] [5] [6]
