Career[edit]

Litex Lovech[edit]
He moved to Bulgaria, joining Litex Lovech's academy, after catching the eye of the player agent Rogério Pereira.[2] Ferares made his team debut for Litex Lovech in a friendly match against Macedonian FK Pelister on July 1, 2008. In his first months with Litex, Diego Ferraresso played for the reserve squad.

In the summer of 2012, Ferraresso spent approximately a month training with Botev Plovdiv, receiving the approval of the manager Ferario Spasov. However, the "canaries" were unable to sign him, as with his transfer they would have exceeded the limit on non-EU players in the team.[2]

Botev Vratsa[edit]
After a five-year stay with Cracovia, in September 2021 Diego Ferraresso returned to Bulgaria, being close to signing with Dobrudzha Dobrich, but eventually joining Botev Vratsa that was managed by compatriot Daniel Morales.[4]
