Career
Born in Ferentino, he has played in Serie A for Fiorentina, Sampdoria and Internazionale. Early career Angelo Palombo started his career at Italian amateur side Fano, as a youth player. Fano then sold him to Italian Serie A side Fiorentina and made his Serie A debut on 10 February 2002 in a 2–0 away defeat against Venezia.
Sampdoria He moved to Sampdoria, then in Serie B, on a free transfer in the 2002 summer transfer window when Fiorentina declared bankruptcy and were forced to put their players on sale.
After helping the Ligurian club gain promotion that season, he established himself as an integral part of the side. Palombo had many very good seasons at the club, leading to him being a regular in the Italian national team
When Sampdoria were again relegated at the end of the 2010-2011 season, his future at the club was put into doubt, with many Serie A sides interested but mainly his former club Fiorentina. Palombo, by then the club"s captain, said he had no intention to move unless the club wished to sell him and remained at the club
Palombo made his Italy national team debut in the 0–2 defeat to Croatia on 16 August 2006, coming as a substitute for Fabio Liverani in the 58th minute.
Palombo is usually deployed as a defensive midfielder, where he can effectively combine his defensive attributes and his ability to break down opposition plays, with his ability to start attacking plays as a deep-lying playmaker. However, his energetic, hardworking style of play and his stamina allow him to play anywhere in midfield. In addition to his ball-winning and passing ability, he also possesses a powerful shot from distance.
Palombo is a strong, tenacious, influential and determined player, who has, however, been accused of inconsistency at times.
