Stuttgart signs Italian midfielder Camoranesi

Tue 31st, August 2010

Stuttgart, Germany (Sports Network) - Stuttgart acquired Italian midfielder Mauro Camoranesi from Juventus on Tuesday and signed him to a one-year deal.

Camoranesi helped Italy win the 2006 World Cup and has played 54 times for his country. The 33-year-old played at Juventus from 2002-10, helping the club win three Serie A titles.

"There were other offers, but Stuttgart were far and away my preferred choice. This is the right time for a move and I'm grateful to VfB for offering me this opportunity," Camoranesi said.

Camoranesi's contract includes an option to extend the deal. The right-sided midfielder has also played in Mexico, Uruguay and Argentina during his career.

Stuttgart also acquired 22-year-old midfielder Mamadou Bah from French side Racing Strasbourg and signed him through the 2012-13 season.

"He's impressed us on more than one occasion and we convinced him to join us rather than Champions League participants AJ Auxerre, who also wanted to sign him", Stuttgart Sporting Director Fredi Bobic said.
