Moreno Longo (born 14 February 1976) is an Italian football manager and former football player. He is the current manager of Pro Vercelli.
Club career
Moreno began his playing career with Lascaris youth team before moving to Torino in 1987, with whom he made his debut in Serie A in 1994–95 during a 5-1 defeat against A.C. Milan.
In the same year, he won the prestigious Torneo di Viareggio with the primavera, before earning two more caps for the first team in subsequent years. Between 1995–96, he collected 11 appearances in Serie A for the granata which culminated with the third ever relegation of the club into Serie B. He played 18 times for the club in the cadets, but was also involved in the Torneo di Viareggio as part of the youth team, lost in the final against A.S. Bari.
In August 1997, he signed with Lucchese, again in Serie B (on loan initially). He stayed there for two seasons playing as a starter until the relegation of 1999. At the beginning of 1999-00, he wore the captain's armband for the provincial Tuscan side. Then, in September, he moved in co-ownership to Chievo.
He remained there until 2002 and was part of the team that earned the club's first promotion to Serie A in 2001. That season, Moreno was seriously injured and his appearances were limited to just 12. The following season, he never took to the field due to the effects of the injury.
In January 2003, he was loaned to Cagliari. In Sardinia, he returned to the field after a two-year stop, disputing all of 2 games in April, before returning to Chievo; where he was transferred indefinitely to Teramo in Serie C1. He played 5 times for the Abruzzi, however, in August 2004 he was attacked by ultras and left the team.
He continued his career in Serie C2 with Pro Vercelli and Alexandria, ending his career at age 30.
