Playing career
After a long career playing in minor divisions (Serie D with Locri, and Serie C2 with Igea Virtus), he was signed by Serie B side Catania in 2004, becoming a team leader and a fan favourite, as well as a protagonist in the successful 2005–06 campaign that brought the rossazzurri back into Serie A. After an impressive 2006–07 season, he was then signed on 31 August 2007 by arch-rivals Palermo.[1] On 31 July 2008, Serie A newcomers Lecce bought the contract of Caserta from Palermo for €1.6million.[2][3]
He was successively acquired by Atalanta for the 2009–10 season, after Lecce were relegated to Serie B.
On 24 June 2010, he was loaned to Serie A newcomer Cesena along with Maximiliano Pellegrino, as part of the deal that Atalanta bought Ezequiel Schelotto outright.[4]
Coaching career
After retirement, he stayed at Juve Stabia as part of head coach Gaetano Fontana's staff.
On 15 July 2017 he was announced as Juve Stabia's new head coach. On his second season in charge, he guided Juve Stabia to direct promotion to Serie B as Serie C/C winners.
