Club career

His career saw him play for a number of Italian and one foreign club during his eighteen-year spell as a player. He began his career with Udinese (1989–1997 and 2002–2004), where he spent a large part of his career, becoming an import part of the side. He later moved to Napoli (1997–1999), Fiorentina (1999–2002), Germinal Beerschot (2004), Venezia (2005), and Sacilese (2005–07), where he ended his career. During his time with Fiorentina, he won the Coppa Italia of 2001. Fiorentina paid 15 billion lire to sign Rossitto (€7.75 million) as well as another 5 billion for half of the registration rights of Giuseppe Taglialatela.[1] in the same window, Napoli signed Emiliano Bigica from Fiorentina.

International career

Rossito represented Italy at Under-21 level on nine occasions and was part of the team that won the 1994 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in France under the management of Cesare Maldini, for the first time in Italy's history. All of his appearances at Under-21 level came in 1994.[2][3]

Rossitto had one appearance for the senior Italy national football team, coming on as a substitute in a 2–0 away win over Hungary on 1 June 1996.[4] He was part of Italy's squad at the 1996 UEFA European Championship in England.[5]

From January 2013 to the end of the season Rossitto served as head coach of Pordenone in the Serie D.

In the 2013–14 season he was the coach of Triestina.
