 After the departure of Ranocchia and Leonardo Bonucci, Bari failed to sign quality replacements.At first, he was the centre-back, as the team signed right-back Andrea Raggi, but in mid-season he was moved back to right-back.In January 2011 Bari signed centre-back Kamil Glik and after the departure of coach Giampiero Ventura, Masiello remained as the starting right-back and Nicola Belmonte became the usual centre-back under Bortolo Mutti.
