Career

edit

Livorno

edit

After many year as backups, for Alfonso De Lucia (2008–2011), Francesco Bardi (2011–12) and Vincenzo Fiorillo (2012–13), Mazzoni was signed by Calcio Padova in a temporary deal in 2013. In 2014 Mazzoni returned to Livorno as the first choice. Mazzoni and Livorno agreed to terminate the contract in 2015.[2]

Ternana

edit

In 2015 Mazzoni was signed by Ternana in a 1+1 year contract,[3] replacing Alberto Brignoli.

Back to Livorno

edit

He returned to Livorno in 2016, as the first choice goalkeeper during the club's two Serie C campaigns, with the latter ending with promotion to Serie B. He was successively confirmed in his role for the 2018–19 Serie B season, but was suspended by the Italian Football Federation on 6 March 2019 after being found positive to cocaine following a routine drug test.[4] On 23 July 2019 he was formally banned for four years from any football activities.[5]
