Davide Bombardini (born 21 June 1974) is a retired Italian footballer.
Born in Faenza, Emilia–Romagna, 50 km southeast of Bologna, Bombardini started his senior career at Serie D side Imolese Calcio, located at Imola, The Province of Bologna. He then briefly played for Serie B side Pisa which is located in Tuscany region. He then signed by league rival Cesena of Emilia–Romagna. He then played for several Serie C1, Serie C2 and Serie D clubs before signed by southern Italy side Reggina. He was loaned to Serie C1 side Atletico Catania in October and Acireale in January 1999.
Bombardini made his major breakthrough in 1999–2000 in Serie C1 when he signed for U.S. Città di Palermo, where he won the Serie C1 championship in 2001. During the team's next season, in Serie B, he scored 7 league goals.
In June 2002, he signed a 3-year contract for A.S. Roma worth around €0.95 million in gross annually and made his Serie A debut there, whose Roma chairman Franco Sensi was the owner of Palermo until July 2002. Bombardini cost Roma €11 million, but paid via the transfer of 50% registration rights of Franco Brienza who tagged for "€5.5 million", and €5.5 million cash. In 2002–03 financial year, both clubs write-down the value of its player asset, which Bombardini was valued for €540,000 at that time. The co-ownership deal also terminated during the season. However it was not truly write-down, as the residual €10.46 million was included in a special amortize fund along with other toxic player asset, and slowly amortize in 10-year period, which "worth" €80.189 million as asset on 30 June 2006. In 2006–07 financial year, as the club adopted IFRS as accounting standard, the fund was removed from the balance sheet and co-currently the net equity was re-calculated.
