Sergio Bernardo Almirón (born 7 November 1980) is an Argentine former footballer who played as a central midfielder known for his passing and powerful shots.

Upon his return, Almirón found himself even further down the pecking order following the arrivals of Mali international, Mohamed Sissoko and also Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen.

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri again deemed the player a surplus to requirements, and again opted to send the midfielder out on loan.

[4] Following yet another dismal campaign, in which Almirón made just 11 appearances, however, Fiorentina declined the option to make his stay permanent and he again returned to Turin.

The emergence of youngster Claudio Marchisio during the 2008–09 season and the arrival of Brazilian duo Diego and Felipe Melo during the summer ended any new possibilities of a second chance of becoming a regular at the club.

He has since returned to the heights of his playing form and has been a regular in the Catania line-up, scoring 4 goals in 32 league appearances in his first season with the club.

[11] In 2015, Almirón accepted an offer from newly promoted Lega Pro club Akragas to play under new head coach Nicola Legrottaglie, a former teammate of his at Juventus.

On 15 December 2015, Akragas announced Almirón's immediate retirement from active football with him joining the non-playing staff as a technical area coordinator.
