Former Orlando City midfielder Antonio Nocerino signs with Benevento Calcio

Former Orlando City midfielder Antonio Nocerino has found a new home in Italy.

The Lions opted not to pick up the option on Nocerino’s contract after the 2017 season and he had a long break before signing July 6 with Serie B club Benevento Calcio, an Italian side near his hometown Naples.

Nocerino, who competed on the Italian national team, enjoyed his greatest success with Milan from 2011-16, scoring 12 goals during 74 appearances.

The 33-year-old shared a picture of himself training with his new team on Instagram, adding the hashtag #newchallenge.
