Cristian Galano (born 1 April 1991) is an Italian footballer who plays as a forward or midfielder.

[1] Born in Foggia, Apulia, Galano started his career at Serie B and Apulian team Bari.

[2] In 2010, he graduated from the under-20 youth team, and loaned to Gubbio,[3] to replace the left of Alessandro Marotta who returned to Bari.

In October 2016, he received the first ever green card, an initiative introduced in the Serie B to reward fair play, when he indicated to the referee that a goal-kick should have been awarded instead of a corner.

He was selected to the final round, and played twice, on both occasions replacing Jacopo Sala at half time.

He received a call-up from Ciro Ferrara in January 2011 for an under-21 training camp and an unofficial friendly against Bellinzona.

A green card has only been used in Italian Serie B and other tournaments played by countries deemed 'outside' FIFA.
