Marco Sportiello (born 10 May 1992) is an Italian footballer who plays for Atalanta as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in Desio, Sportiello finished his graduation with Atalanta's youth system, and subsequently moved to Seregno in a co-ownership deal.[1] A season later, Atalanta bought the remaining half of his rights back for free.
On 20 June 2011 Sportiello joined Poggibonsi, again in a co-ownership.[2] A year later his rights were fully assigned to La Dea.[3] On 14 July 2012 he moved to Carpi in a season-long loan deal.[4] After being a regular starter during the promotion campaign to Serie B, Sportiello returned to Atalanta, being third-choice (behind Andrea Consigli and Giorgio Frezzolini).
On 4 December 2013 Sportiello made his Atalanta debut, starting in a 2–0 home win over Sassuolo, for the season's Coppa Italia;[5] his Serie A debut came on 12 January of the following year, starting in a 2–1 home success over Catania.[6]
After Consigli's departure to Sassuolo, Sportiello was made starter for the 2014–15 campaign, overtaking veterans Frezzolini and new signing Vlada Avramov.
International career
He has been called up for the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship as a reserve goalkeeper, without having made his official debut with the Italy U21 side.
