Club career

Conti started his career at his father's club Roma, debuting in 1996. [2] In 1999, he was sold to Cagliari in a co-ownership deal for 800 million lire (€413,166). [3] He did not leave the club despite the club being relegated in 2000. In June 2000 Cagliari signed him outright for another 1.25 billion lire (€645,571). [3]

In June 2004, he was in the team when they were the runner-up of Serie B and returned to Serie A after four seasons. Conti became the new team captain after the retirement of long-serving Uruguayan defender Diego López in 2010. [4]

In January 2013 Conti extended his contract for one more year. [5] On 10 November 2013, he scored a brace against Torino. His father Bruno wrote an open letter which was published on the local newspaper L'Unione Sarda several days later, congratulating him on a stellar career [6] – earlier that year Daniele became the club's all-time appearance maker, breaking local legend Mario Brugnera's three decade-old record. [7] He retired at the end of the 2014–15 season, after sixteen years with the club. [4] In total, he made 464 appearances for Cagliari, scoring 51 goals. [1]

International career

Conti played once for the Italy U21 team, on 16 August 2000, in a 2–0 friendly win over the Mexico U23 side.

Managerial career

In July 2016, Cagliari signed Conti as a co-ordinator for the club's youth system. [4] He resigned from his role in July 2022, leaving the club after 23 consecutive years as both a player and a staff member. [8]

Personal life

Conti is married to long-time girlfriend Valeria and they have two sons, Bruno (named after his grandfather) and Manuel. [2] [6]
