Ivan Pelizzoli (born 18 November 1980) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Virtus Entella in Italy's Serie B.

Career

After playing for Atalanta B.C. and Triestina from 1997 to 2000, he made his Serie A debut with Atalanta on 5 November 2000, during the 2000–01 season; the promising goalkeeper soon emerged to prominence, overtaking Alberto Fontana and Davide Pinato as the club's starting goalkeeper, and was initially considered by the media to be one of the best young goalkeepers in Italy.[1]

Roma

In the following summer he was signed by 2001 Italian champions A.S. Roma for 33,000 million lire in 5-year contract, worth 3,372.2 million lire per season, (signed in June 2001; ~€17,043,078 transfer fee and €1.742 million wage;[1] paid via 27,000 million lire cash and Alessandro Rinaldi), winning the Supercoppa Italiana in his first season.[2] Firstly he was backup of Francesco Antonioli but in mid-2002–03 Serie A season he became first choice goalkeeper under Fabio Capello, helping Roma to reach the 2003 Coppa Italia final. During the 2003–04 Serie A season, Pelizzoli conceded the least goals in the entire Serie A behind a defensive force mainly of Cristian Panucci, Walter Samuel, Christian Chivu and Vincent Candela, as Roma finished the season in second place. He was not picked for the Euro 2004 (included for Olympic instead), but looked set to become a long-term first choice in Roma. However, his subsequent unstable performances gave Gianluca Curci and Carlo Zotti the chance to play during the 2004–05 Serie A season.[1]

Reggina

Due to his lack of competitive action, he signed for Reggina Calcio 2005 in co-ownership deal for a peppercorn fee of €500 to compete with Nicola Pavarini for first choice goalkeeper.[1] Reggina pinned their hopes on Pelizzoli regaining his spectacular form from the 2003–04 season, but he could not really find his feet in Reggina, though he played his part in keeping the team in the top-flight division. In June 2006 Roma gave up the remain 50% registration rights to Reggina for free.[3]

Lokomotiv Moscow

On 31 January 2007, Pelizzoli was captured by FC Lokomotiv Moscow, signing him on with a 3-year contract.[1] In his first season, he had compete for a first team place with Eldin Jakupović, and in his second season with Ivan Levenets and Marek Čech, demoting him to the 4th choice goalkeeper.

AlbinoLeffe

On 31 August 2009, Lokomotiv Moscow loaned Ivan to the Serie B club U.C. AlbinoLeffe for one season, with Eldin Jakupović returning to Moscow.[4] Pelizzoli was brought in as AlbinoLeffe's goalkeepers only had Serie C1 experience, namely Stefano Layeni, Daniel Offredi and Paolo Branduani. He made his team debut on 19 September 2009. After played 3 games in September, he was out-favored and lost his place in both first choice and on the bench. Pelizzoli re-gained his regular place since November.

Cagliari
