He played as a centre-back as a player.

Club career

Bocchetti started his professional career at Ascoli.[1] He made his Serie A debut against Palermo on 20 December 2006. He was sent on loan to Serie C1 for Lanciano, and Frosinone of Serie B on second half of 2006–07 season.[1][2] In the 2008–09 season Bocchetti was signed by Genoa and soon became a regular starter in central defence, also functioning as a fullback on occasion.[1]

In the 2010–2011 season he was signed by Rubin Kazan on a 3.5-year contract with a fee reported to be around €15 million for the transfer.[3] On 2 October 2011, Bocchetti scored two goals in a league match against Tom Tomsk. Kazan won the game 2–0.[4] In January 2013, he moved to Spartak Moscow, another Russian Premier League club.[5] In August 2013, he received a knee surgery and missed the rest of the season.[6] On 27 January 2015, Milan had signed him on loan with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.[7] He was released from his Spartak contract by mutual consent on 6 July 2019.[8]

On 25 July 2019, Bocchetti joined Italian Serie A club Hellas Verona on a two-year contract.[9]

On 29 September 2020, Bocchetti joined Serie B club Pescara on loan until 30 June 2021.[10]

International career

In March 2008, Bocchetti made his debut with the Italy U-21 squad. He established himself in Pierluigi Casiraghi's Azzurrini squad, which won the 2008 Toulon Tournament, and retained his place in the starting lineup for the Summer Olympics, as Italy reached the quarter-finals.[1][11] Together with Marco Andreolli, he was first-choice in central defence during the 2009 U-21 European Championship as Italy reached the semi-finals;[12] he was later named to the team of the tournament.

On 22 March 2009, Bocchetti received his first call-up to the senior Italy squad for two World Cup qualifiers matches but remained an unused substitute.[13] On 10 October 2009, he made his senior national team international debut against Ireland coming on as a second-half substitute in Croke Park. He was named in Marcello Lippi's 23-men squad for the 2010 World Cup.[14] Bocchetti was also selected for Italy's preliminary squad for Euro 2012,[15] but was not picked for the final squad.[16]

Style of play

Bocchetti has been described as a versatile, left-footed centre back, who is also capable of being deployed as a full back. He is known for his strength, pace, and anticipation, as well as for his reliable technical ability.[17]

Coaching career

Following his retirement from active football, Bocchetti took on a career as a coach, rejoining Verona in July 2021 as a youth coach in charge of the Under-18 team.[18] He left his role later in September 2021 to join Igor Tudor's first team coaching staff as an assistant,[19] and also taking Tudor's place for a single Serie A league game against Cagliari on 30 April 2022 as Tudor himself was disqualified.[20]

Following Tudor's departure and the appointment of Gabriele Cioffi as new head coach, Bocchetti was then handed over the duties of the Under-19 team for the 2022–23 season.[21][22] In September 2022, he obtained a UEFA A license.[23]

On 13 October 2022, he was promoted head coach of Verona, replacing Gabriele Cioffi.[24] As Bocchetti had no UEFA Pro license at the time of his appointment, Verona had to ask the Italian Football Federation to hand him a temporary authorization, which was handed for a period of 30 days.[25] He guided Verona formally as head coach for a total six games, all of them ending with defeat.[26]

On 3 December 2022, after his temporary authorization to coach the Gialloblu expired,[27] Verona announced the appointment of Marco Zaffaroni as new head coach, with Bocchetti as his assistant.[28] He departed Verona by the end of the season, after the team escaped relegation by means of winning a playoff.

On 23 December 2024, Bocchetti signed a contract until 30 June 2027 as the new head coach of bottom-placed Serie A club Monza, replacing Alessandro Nesta.[29] During his month and a half as head coach, Salvatore Bocchetti achieved an important victory with Monza against Fiorentina — on January 13, 2025, he recorded his first win both with the Lombard club and as a professional manager, with a 2–1 result. Under his leadership, the team earned a total of 5 points. Shortly after, on February 10, 2025, the club decided to relieve him of his duties and reinstated the previous coach, Alessandro Nesta. Despite these changes, Monza was relegated to Serie B at the end of the season. [1]

Personal life

Bocchetti is married to Ekaterina Maltseva, whom he met while playing for Spartak in Russia; the couple has three children.[30][31] He is fluent in Italian, English, Spanish and Russian.[32]
