Diego Orlando Benaglio (Italian pronunciation: ; born 8 September 1983) is a Swiss footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club AS Monaco FC.
He spent most of his professional career with Stuttgart and Wolfsburg in Germany, winning the 2009 league championship and appearing in almost 300 competitive matches with the latter club. He also spent three years in Portugal, with Nacional.
Benaglio earned 61 caps for Switzerland, representing the nation in three World Cups and Euro 2008.
Born in Zürich, Benaglio finished his development at hometown club Grasshopper Club Zürich. Still in his teens he moved to Germany and joined VfB Stuttgart, but appeared exclusively for the reserves during his three-year spell.
For the 2005–06 season, Benaglio moved to Portugal's C.D. Nacional, soon gaining favour over Henrique Hilário and becoming the Madeirans's undisputed first-choice after the veteran left for Chelsea. It was also during his first year that the team qualified for the UEFA Cup.
