Club career

A quick attacking forward, Massara started his career in the youth ranks of Torino, but never managed to break through the first team and was eventually sold to Serie C1 club Pavia. In 1991 he joined Pescara, playing three years under head coach Giovanni Galeone, being featured as a wing forward in an attacking 4–3–3 lineup that successfully won promotion to Serie A in 1992. He made his Serie A debut in the 1992–93 season, in what would remain his lone top flight season as a player.

After Pescara, he joined another Serie B club, Fidelis Andria, with little success; following that, he played with several other teams at Serie B, Serie C1 and Serie C2 level before retiring in 2003.

Managerial career

Following his retirement as a player, Massara became a coach, working as an assistant for Benevento (2006–07), Pescara (2007) and Martina (2007–08).

In July 2008 he joined Palermo director of football Walter Sabatini as one of his collaborators for the Sicilians. He then followed Sabatini on the same role at Roma.

On May 2011, he became a formally licensed director of football after passing the specific Italian Football Federation classes.

He was successively named as director of football of Roma on October 2016, taking over from Sabatini himself; he however left the role soon later to re-join with Sabatini in his new role at Inter Milan and Jiangsu Suning.

On 1 June 2018, Massara returned to Roma as the club's general secretary, working alongside new director of football Monchi, and then replacing him after the latter's dismissal on 8 March 2019. On 5 June, Massara and Roma mutually parted ways.

On 21 June 2019, he was named new sporting director of Milan.[1]
