Antonio Nocerino leaves Orlando City

Former Italy international Antonio Nocerino has ended his spell with Orlando City, it has been revealed.

The midfielder’s two-year contract with the MLS side will soon come to an end and the club opted against the option to extend the deal for a further year.

This comes as a surprise considering that Nocerino was an important member of the squad, although there is a chance the player himself wanted to leave.

The 32-year-old has enjoyed a successful career in Italy, representing Crotone, Messina, Piacenza, Juventus, Palermo, AC Milan, Torino and Parma, and a return to Serie A could be on the cards.

Nocerino played for the Italian national team between 2007 and 2013, making a total of 15 appearances for the Azzurri.
