Antimo Iunco (born 6 June 1984) is an Italian footballer who plays as a forward.

Club career

Early career

Iunco started his career at hometown club Brindisi. He followed the team to play at Serie C2 after winning the Serie D Group H champion in 2002. In January 2004, he joined Verona of Serie B in a co-ownership deal.[1] He was made permanent in June 2004.[2][3]

Chievo

After Verona relegated to Serie C1, he moved to cross town rival Chievo (in a co-ownership deal), which also relegated but from Serie A, where he won Serie A promotion in 2008.[4] He made 19 league starts in 27 league appearances for the Serie B champion.

In June 2008, Chievo bought him outright. After the club signed Mauro Esposito on loan who had much more experience at Serie A, Iunco was out-favoured and in January 2009 loaned to Serie B struggler Salernitana[5] after the club signed Stephen Makinwa.

Cittadella

On 30 August 2009, he joined Cittadella of Serie B, as part of the deal that Chievo signed Manuel Iori earlier,[6] re-joining Chievo teammate Diego Oliveira. Iunco took number 7 shirt that previously owned by central midfielder Fabio Giordano.

In June 2010, Cittadella signed him in co-ownership deal for €500,000[7] and sold the remain 50% registration rights of Manuel Iori to Chievo.[8]

Torino

On 12 July 2010, he was sold to fellow Serie B side Torino, and Chievo retained another 50% registration rights. (Chievo acquired Iunco outright for €700,000 and sold for €1M.[7])[9] On 25 June 2011 Chievo regained all the registration rights for €99,000.[7] It was also due to an auction error by Torino chairman Urbano Cairo, which offered €20,000 more than Chievo but did not sign it, thus it was not considered a valid offer.[10][11]

Spezia

On 30 July 2011 Iunco joined Serie B club Spezia in another co-ownership deal[12] for €150,000 fee.[13] On 23 June 2012 Chievo bought back Iunco again,[14] for just €750 fee.[13]

Bari

In summer 2012 Iunco was loaned to Bari.

Trapani

On 19 August 2013 Iunco joined Trapani.[15] On 23 January 2015 he was transferred to Alessandria.[16][17]

Alessandria & Paganese

Iunco joined Serie C club Alessandria on 23 January 2015. He spent 1+1⁄2 seasons with the club.

In summer 2016 Iunco joined another Serie C club Paganese.[18] However, he terminated his contract in a mutual consent in the winter transfer window.[19]

Return to Cittadella

Iunco returned to Cittadella on 10 January 2017.[20] On 18 July he signed a new contract.[21]
