Released in 2004, he went to play one season with Fiorentina then resumed his career in La Liga with Sevilla (four years) and Málaga, appearing in 134 games and scoring 17 goals in the competition whilst winning five major titles with the former side; in between his two spells in Spain he also spent one year in Greece with Olympiacos, returning to Italy where he played until his retirement in 2017, totalling 140 matches in the Serie A (17 goals).
