Club career

Born and raised in Genoa, [1] [2] [3] Accornero started playing football at grassroots clubs Polis Genova and Foce, [1] before joining Genoa's youth academy in 2011. [2] He came through the club's youth ranks, reaching the final of the under-17 national championship in 2021, [1] [4] while starting playing for the under-19 squad in the same year. [1]

On 6 March 2023, Accornero made his professional debut for Genoa, coming on as a substitute for Albert Guðmundsson in the 82nd minute of a 4–0 Serie B win against Cosenza. [3] [5] At the end of the campaign, he was involved in a double promotion, as Genoa's first team returned to Serie A after just one year, [6] while the Primavera squad gained automatic promotion back to the Campionato Primavera 1. [6] [7]

On 27 July 2023, Accornero joined Serie C club Pescara on a season-long loan. [8] [9] On 6 August, he scored his first professional goal in a 6–2 Coppa Italia defeat to Reggiana. [10] [11]

On 1 September 2024, Accornero made his Serie A debut for Genoa, as a late substitute in a 0–2 loss to Hellas Verona. [12]

On 17 January 2025, Accornero was loaned by Trento in Serie C. [13]

On 16 July 2025, Accornero signed a three-season contract with Carrarese in Serie B. [14]

International career

Accornero has represented Italy at various youth international levels, having played for the under-15, [15] under-16, [16] under-18 [17] and under-19 national teams. [18] [19]

He was included in the squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran, Algeria, [20] where Italy eventually won the silver medal after losing to France in the final match. [21]

Style of play

Accornero started playing football as a central midfielder, before being moved to an attacking role. [1] [22] Despite operating mainly as a number 10, he can also play as an advanced forward or a left winger. [1] [2] [19]

An ambidextrous forward, he has been regarded for his agility, his dribbling skills and his work rate. [1] [19] Moreover, he has shown to be equally effective as an assist-man and a goal-scorer. [2] [19]

Although he was compared to Alexis Sánchez due to his characteristics, [1] he cited Albert Guðmundsson and Mattia Aramu, two of his team-mates at Genoa, as his biggest sources of inspiration. [2]

Personal life

Accornero's parents own a seaside resort in Genoa. [3]

He is a long-life supporter of Genoa. [2] [3]
