Club career

Born in San Daniele del Friuli, [2] [3] Comuzzo started playing football at local grassroots club Tricesimo at the age of six, [3] before joining the youth sectors of Udinese and Pordenone, [2] [3] and then moving to Fiorentina's academy in 2019. [4] [5]

He then came through the Viola's youth ranks, being named as captain of the under-18 squad, [5] [6] before being promoted to the under-19 team in the first months of 2023. [6] [7] In March of the same year, he signed his first professional contract with Fiorentina, penning a deal until 2025, with an option for another year. [6] [8] [9] During the same season, he helped the under-19 team win the Supercoppa Primavera, [10] [11] as they also reached the Coppa Italia final. [3] [12] [13]

At the start of the 2023–24 season, Comuzzo started training with the first team, under manager Vincenzo Italiano. [6] [14] On 8 October 2023, the defender made his professional (and Serie A) debut for Fiorentina, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan Ikoné in a 3–1 league win over Napoli. [6] [15] On 26 October, he made his debut in a continental tournament, coming on for injured Michael Kayode in the sixth minute of a 6–0 win over Čukarički in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. [3] [16]

On 17 August 2024, Comuzzo made his first professional start in a 1–1 league draw against Parma. [17] [18]

International career

Comuzzo has represented Italy at under-17, [19] under-18 [7] [20] and under-20 level. [21] [22]

He received his first call-up to the Italian under-20 national team in September 2023. [23] [24]

On 8 November 2024, coach Luciano Spalletti included Comuzzo in the Italy senior team squad for UEFA Nations League fixtures against Belgium and France. [25]

Style of play

Comuzzo is a centre-back who can play either in a back four or a back three, [5] [6] but can also cover the right-back role. [3] He has been regarded for his physical attributes, his marking abilities and his technique. [5] [6] A fairly sporting player, [5] he has also been described as an aerial threat from set pieces and a leader of the defense. [6]

Personal life

Comuzzo has a twin brother, Francesco: they played together for the youth teams of Tricesimo, Udinese, Pordenone and Fiorentina until 2020, when Francesco was released by the latter club. [2] [3]

He lost his mother to cancer in 2023. [3]
