Career

Bracigliano was born in Forbach, Moselle. He started his career with Nancy, then he transferred to Marseille in 2011. On 13 March 2012, he came on as a substitute in his UEFA Champions League debut against Inter Milan in the stoppage time, after Steve Mandanda had been dismissed. Despite conceding a goal from a penalty by Giampaolo Pazzini, he made several crucial saves which made Marseille qualify to the quarter-finals of the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League on away goals rule, after drawing 2–2 on aggregate.[1]

On 21 August 2014, Bracigliano was a third round pick in the Inaugural ISL International Draft, signing for Chennai. He joined the North East United FC as a goalkeeping coach and player for the second season of the Indian Super League.[2]
