Nicola Legrottaglie (born 20 October 1976) is an Italian retired footballer who played as a central defender, and currently the assistant manager at Cagliari.
In a senior career that lasted two full decades, he amassed Serie A totals of 259 games and 22 goals over the course of 12 seasons, representing in the competition Chievo, Juventus, Bologna, Siena, Milan and Catania. He won the 2011 national championship with the fifth club.
Legrottaglie gained 16 caps for Italy, appearing for the nation at the 2009 Confederations Cup.
Born in Gioia del Colle, Province of Bari, Legrottaglie began his career with A.S. Bari, having loan spells at A.C. Pistoiese and A.C. Prato. Following his return to Bari in June 1998 he was sold to A.C. Chievo Verona in the Serie B, appearing rarely in his second season with the team and, in January 2000, moved on loan to A.C. Reggiana 1919 in the third division; with his new club he also found playing opportunities hard to come by and, after his return to Verona, moved to the same level and in the same predicament, now with Modena FC.
