Early life

The parents of Mattia Maggio come from the Salento in Apulia, and had once emigrated from their homeland and settled in Swabia in Germany. Maggio was born in Nürtingen; in the age of eight years he moved with his family to Vaihingen an der Enz. [1] As he grew up bilingual, he speaks German and Italian fluently. Mattia Maggio discovered as a child his passion for football. This sport he practiced with his friends on the street and in the e-youth, he joined the VfB Vaihingen. At the age of ten years, he applied for a trial with VfB Stuttgart and in a three-month selection process, he beat out over 200 other competitors. Maggio joined now in the youth academy of the Bundesliga side. He played until 2011 for the Swabians before he went in the summer in the Italian homeland of his parents when he accepted an offer the youth of Novara Calcio. [1] He justified the change with the opportunity to further develop especially as he got a little operating times with the Swabians. [2] In Novara, he was also in the extended professional squad, which had risen in the summer in the Serie A. However, he was only allowed to play in January. [1]

In four games, he scored three goals. On 15 May 2013 Maggio debuted in the reserve team in the league game operation and scored his first goal as he's 3–1 win against Victoria Hamburg scored the 2–0.

In the final phase of the 2013–14 season Maggio came to injury-related failures of many players on offense and good performance for his part in the professional squad. [4] For example, Maggio scored in a 4–1 victory over SV Eichede three goals. [5] He made his Bundesliga debut for the club on 4 April 2014 in a match against Bayer Leverkusen. Maggio substituted Jacques Zoua 77 minutes into a 2–1 home win. [6] Hamburger SV finished after 34 matches on the 16th place in the table game and had the Barrage, where the "Rothosen" had requested a 0–0 and a 1–1 prevailed on away goals against Greuther Fürth and thus managed to avoid relegation. In the remaining games Maggio could not draw attention to himself and thus had to leave the club. [7]

International career

Steffen Freund was on Mattia Maggio attention when he played for VfB Stuttgart and because of Maggio played twice in the U-16 national team of Germany.
