INFO:
Calaiò is a former centre forward or secondary striker. His career began in 1999 at Torino. After loans to Ternana and Messina, he was sold to Pescara in 2003. He scored 30 goals in 76 matches for the Delfini. He joined Napoli in January 2005 and helped the team obtaining back-to-back promotions from Serie C1 to Serie A, scoring 44 goals in 128 games. In 2008, he transferred to Siena, where he made 154 appearances and scored 50 times until 2013, remaining for the 2010-11 Serie B season and being a key player for the second Serie A promotion in the club history. He had experiences also with Genoa, Catania, Spezia, Parma and Salernitana, where he retired in 2019.
A good striker, Calaiò possessed great sense of goal and opportunism. He was left-footed and gifted with good running ability as well as remarkable technique and dribbling. He scored many goals in spectacular ways like bicycle kicks and first touch. Strong in the air, he was an accurate header. An excellent and almost flawless penalty taker, he scored 42 penalties out of 50. He also was a good passer and sometimes provided assists. When he was moving centrally, he would pass the ball to the side and rushed forward, waiting for the cross; when he was running down the flank, he would serve a teammate in the box.
