Football career

He followed the team to Serie C1 in summer 1995, but won the promotion to Serie A within the following two season. In the 1997–98 season, he failed to taste the Serie A football, because he was transferred to Cagliari Calcio. But he finally tasted top division football in summer 1998. He helped the club avoid relegation the following season, but not during the 1999–2000 season, although his performances still earned him a transfer to F.C. Internazionale Milano, in a cash-plus-player deal. Macellari was valued 14,500 million lire. (€7,488,625) In June 2001, half of the registration rights of Macellari was signed by Bologna (Serie A) for 12,000 million lire (€6,197,483) However Inter paid the same amount to acquire half of Jonathan Binotto. Serious injury blocked Macellari to play for Bologna, so his contract was terminated in October 2002. Macellari then joined Cagliari (Serie B) in January 2003, played for one and a half season, won the promotion again.
