Club career

[edit]![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2014) |
Vicenza
[edit]Margiotta was signed by Vicenza in a co-ownership deal with Udinese in mid-2001. In June 2002 Margiotta was bought outright by the Veneto club. In August 2003 he was loaned to Perugia but returned in January 2004. In August 2005 he left for Piacenza.
Frosinone
[edit]In July 2006 he left for Frosinone initially on a temporary deal.[2] In summer 2007 Margiotta joined the Lazio-based club outright for €50,000.[3]
Margiotta admitted to being involved in a football gambling controversy in June 2007. He was suspended for four months, had to serve community service and pay a fine of €10,000.[4]
Return to Vicenza
[edit]On 21 August 2008, Margiotta returned to Vicenza.[5]
Barletta
[edit]In September 2010, he left for Barletta on a free transfer, and signed an annual contract.[6] He was immediately included in starting XI, partnered with Giuseppe Caccavallo and Nicola Bellomo in a 4–3–2–1 formation.[7] Coach Arcangelo Sciannimanico putted the original starter Paolo Carbonaro and Saveriano Infantino on the bench. Margiotta scored a late goal for Barletta after Foggia scored its second goal.
International career
[edit]Born in Venezuela, Margiotta played for Italy at youth level and at Football at the 2000 Summer Olympics. In 2004 FIFA changed its rules to allow a footballer to switch nation if he had multi-nationality. Originally aimed at players under the age of 21, that year allowed all players to apply. Margiotta switched to Venezuela as he might have no chance to play for Italy. He collected 11 caps, four of which were friendlies.
Post-retirement
[edit]Since he retired in 2011, Margiotta became a staff of Vicenza youth system, as Responsabili dell'Attività di Base from 2011–12 season to 2013–14 season (along with Alberto Ciarelli),[8][9][10] In the 2014–15 season he replaced Stefano Umbro as Responsabile Attività Agonistica.[11]
In July 2015, Margiotta (for two months), CEO Dario Cassingena, Antonio Mandato and coach Mauro Carretta were sanctioned by Italian Football Federation (FIGC) due to a transfer irregularity in the signing of youth player Domenico Ranalletta.[12]
On 1 July 2017, he took over as the new youth system chief of Hellas Verona.[13] On 20 October 2022, Margiotta extended his contract with Hellas Verona until 2027.[14]
