Carlos Emilio Carmona Tello (born February 21, 1987) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays for Atalanta as a midfielder.
Carmona started his career as a centre midfielder in Coquimbo Unido. Two years later he moved to O'Higgins, but appeared sparingly during his one season spell.
On June 1, 2008, Carmona was bought by Serie A side Reggina. He made his debut abroad on 14 September, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw against Torino. Carmona appeared in 32 matches during the campaign (being mostly used as a holding midfielder), which ended in relegation.
In the 2010 summer Carmona moved to Atalanta, also relegated to Serie B, in a co-ownership deal. He contributed with 32 appearances (30 as a starter) as La Dea returned to the top level.
Carmone was Chile's youngest player at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands where he showed some glimpse of talent in Chile's opening game, a 7–0 win against Honduras. Two years later, he captained Chile to the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup where he played in a 3–0 win against Canada, a 3–0 win against Congo, a 4–0 win against Nigeria and a 1–0 win against Austria; Chile eventually were bronze medallists at the end of tournament.
