Biography
Born in Avellino, Campania, Albanese started his career at Basilicata team Anastasio Salvatore. (In Pignola) In 2007 he was loaned to F.C. Internazionale Milano, where he was a midfielder of the team. Despite not a regular member of the Allievi Nazionali under-17 team, Inter bought him but loaned Albanese to Sassuolo[1] along with Umberto Bellani and Giorgio Schiavini. In August 2009 Sassuolo signed him on free transfer and also loaned number of footballers from Inter, such as Alberto Gallinetta and Mame Baba Thiam. Albanese was a regular member[2] for Sassuolo's Primavera under-20 team (the "spring"). He plays as a right back.[3]
Albanese made his first team debut on 27 March 2011. He substituted Daniele Quadrini in the second half. At that time Sassuolo was already losing 0–3. Eventually the champion Siena won Sassuolo 4–0.
In July 2011, Albanese was transferred to newly promoted Italian fourth division club Mantova in co-ownership deal along with Andrea Vignali. He played 3 out of first 4 round of 2011–12 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione as emergency left back. However he then failed to play any game as the team had Inter youth product Andrea Bertin as right-back and Davide Bersi as left-back.
Following this experience, Albanese decided to start a new adventure away from Italy and decided to accept an offer from Malta. In October 2013, he joined Maltese Division 1 side Msida Saint-Joseph F.C. where he was the first signing of newly instated president, Carmine Ferrara.
