Maresca started playing youth football at A.C. Milan, before joining Cagliari Calcio. He got his senior debut with English club West Bromwich Albion in 1998, where he played for two seasons. He moved back to Italy and joined Juventus FC in January 2000, at the age of 19, in a transfer deal worth 4.3 million Pound sterling.[1]

Despite showcasing a high level of promise in his Juventus career, he was, along with fellow young teammates, loaned out to various clubs. He was loaned to to Bologna FC in October 2000, where he spent the remaining part of the 2000-01 season. He returned to Juventus, but joined Piacenza Calcio, who bought joint ownership of Maresca for 4 million.[2] As Piacenza were relegated, Juventus acquired the full ownership of Maresca from Piacenza for € 3 million.[2] When ACF Fiorentina loaned Maresca for the 2004-05 season, they bought 50% of his transfer rights for € 5 million.[3] Maresca returned to Juventus in summer 2005, but never really settled in the "Vecchia Signora"'s starting eleven. As a Juventus player, he never really got a chance. He is remembered for the time he scored a goal against Juve's intercity rivals Torino Calcio, and celebrated by imitating a bull, the Torino symbol.

In August 2005, he moved from Juventus to join Sevilla FC in Spain, for a transfer fee of € 2.5 million.[4][5] At Sevilla, he quickly emerged as a key player in midfield, crowning his debut season by capturing the UEFA Cup 2005-06 trophy, scoring two goals and being named Man of the Match as Sevilla swept aside Middlesbrough FC 4-0.[6] Maresca donated the 10.000€ Man of the Match prize money to the San Juan de Dios hospital in Seville.[7]

Since 1995, Maresca has represented various youth national teams.[8] He was selected for the Italy national under-21 football team in the Toulon U-21 Championships. He is yet to make his debut for the senior national team.
