Early career[]

Vignali was born in the Liguria town of La Spezia, and began his career in the local Serie B side Spezia Calcio at the age of six.[1] He progressed through the youth teams of the Aquilotti, eventually becoming a mainstay in the main Primavera side and going on to make over 50 appearances in a variety of midfield roles, scoring 10 goals. He was part of the side that managed to finished third in the 2014–15 Campionato Primavera, and reached the quarter-finals of the subsequent Fase Finale ('Final Eight' knockout tournament) before being eliminated by Roma.[2]

First-team[]

Vignali was named on the Spezia first-team bench for the Coppa Italia game against Brescia on 8 August 2015. His first appearance for the first-team was as a last minute substitution in the 2–1 Coppa Italia loss to Alessandria. In Serie B, Vignali's first appearance came in a 3–1 win over Salernitana. He played 86 minutes, registering both his first professional goal and first professional assist, as the team recorded a 3–1 victory.[3][4] He became increasingly involved as the 2015–16 season progressed, and was rewarded with his first professional contract in June 2016, lasting three years.[5] He began the 2016–17 season playing fairly regularly under manager Domenico di Carlo.
