Club career edit
He made his Serie B debut for Empoli on 30 August 2008 in a game against Brescia.[1]
On 15 September 2018, he joined Serie D club Messina.[2]
On 17 January 2020, his contract with Potenza was terminated by mutual consent.[3] The next day, he returned to ACR Messina.[4]
Controversies edit
In November 2012 Arcidiacono, while playing for Cosenza, celebrated a goal displaying a shirt with "Speziale Innocente" written on it. This was because Arcidiacono is a childhood friend of Antonino Speziale, the young Catania supporter convicted of the murder of Filippo Raciti in the Catania incidents in 2007.
Following this episode, viewed as offensive for the memory of the late Raciti and of his family, Arcidiacono was given a DASPO, a football banning order, by the Police Director (Questore) of Catanzaro. This banning order, whilst impeding him to enter any football stadium in Italy, did not impact his career as a professional footballer.
