Nicola Donazzan (born 8 January 1985) is an Italian footballer who plays for Cittadella as a defender.

Club career

He started his career with Internazionale, being later sold to Mantova in a co-ownership bid for a peppercorn fee of €500. He made a total 17 appearances during his three-year-long stay with the virgiliani. On July 2007, after Mantova made his transfer permanent for free, he was loaned out to Sassuolo, where he was protagonist of the neroverdi's successful Serie C1/A campaign. That season Donazzan was a utility player, who played in centre-back and left-back positions. However he did not play in Supercoppa di Lega di Prima Divisione. Later in June 2008 Sassuolo decided to make his move became a co-ownership deal.

Donazzan signed a new 1-year deal on 22 June 2011.
