Antonio Chimenti (born 30 June 1970 in Bari) is an Italian football goalkeeper. He currently plays for Juventus FC, on loan from Udinese Calcio.
[edit] Club career
Chimenti played for modest clubs in Italy until 1997, when he served a two year-stint with A.S. Roma. After three impressive seasons with U.S. Lecce, he was snapped by Juventus F.C. in July 2002, where he played understudy to Gianluigi Buffon. On January 2006, Chimenti signed a two-year deal with Cagliari Calcio on a free transfer, despite having still 6 months in his Juventus contract left.
For 2007-08, Chimenti signed for one season with Udinese Calcio, again on a free transfer, on 29 June 2007, backing up Samir Handanovic. However, in 2008-09, he returned to Juventus, this time on loan, as swap deal with Emanuele Belardi.
Chimenti made his 2008 Juventus debut, coming on for Buffon in a friendly versus Brøndby IF. On August 5, 2008, however, the club signed Austria's Manninger, due to some poor performances by Chimenti during pre-season, thus demoting the latter to third-choice.
In January 2009 the swap deal of Emanuele Belardi to Udinese and Antonio Chimenti to Juventus became permanent, after Juventus signed 19 year old Bulgarian goalkeeper Mario Kirev, who is currently on loan at Grasshopper-Club Zurich.
[edit] Personal
Chimenti's father Francesco (ex-Osimana) and uncle Vito (ex-Taranto Sport), were both also footballers.
