Sergio Carnesalini (born 29 August 1982) is a retired Italian footballer .
Carnesalini had played over 110 games in both Serie C1 and Serie C2.
Born in Treviglio, the Province of Bergamo, Carnesalini started his career at Atalanta Bergamo. He spent a season with Alzano, and in mid-2002 sold to Aglianese in co-ownership deal. In mid-2004 he was signed by Serie C1 side Lucchese but missed the entire 2005–06 season. He then joined Lecco. Despite only played 14 games in regular season, he played all 4 promotion play-offs. He only played 7 games in 2007–08 Serie C1 and in January 2008 returned to Serie C2 side Viareggio. He followed the team promoted to Prima Divisione (ex- Serie C1) in 2009 despite losing the promotion play-offs[1] [2] and winning the relegation play-out in 2010.[3] [4]
On 3 July 2010 he signed a new 3-year contract, becoming one of the longest serving defenders along with Lorenzo Fiale.[5] Despite a regular starter, he was swapped with Ravenna's Alessandro Visone on 10 January 2011,[6] [7] with Nicolò Brighenti replacing his starting place. That season he played once in the cup[8] and a combined 31 games in the league, missed once in round 25 due to suspension.[9] He also played in both legs of the relegation play-outs.[10] [11]
