Mirko Laurentini was born in Rome on August 27, 1978.
He went through all the Lazio youth sector age groups before being added to the first team squad in 1997-98.
The manager was Sven-Goran Eriksson in his first year as Lazio manager. It was a positive season as Lazio won silverware after 24 years by winning the Coppa Italia (Milan 3-2 on aggregate). Lazio reached the UEFA Cup final too but lost 0-3 to Inter. In Serie A Lazio were second as late as early April but then tired and finished 7th. The other main success apart from the Coppa Italia triumph was defeating Roma a record four times out of four! Laurentini remained on the fringes and only played 1 league game, coming on for Guerino Gottardi in the 87th minute in an away game at Bologna on May 16 and was an unused substitute five times.
In 1998 he went to Siena for two seasons. The Bianconeri were in Serie C1. The Robur finished 15th and 1st (promoted to B under Antonio Sala). Laurentini however did not make his breakthrough.
His career then took him to Novara in C2 and then lower level Terracina, Albalonga, Spes Mentana, L'Aquila, Ciampino, San Cesareo, Villanova, Settebagni, Monterotondo and Riano.
After retiring he coached various lower-level local Roman teams such as Settebagni and Monterotondo.
Laurentini was a midfielder. He never made it at top level and spent most of his career in and around Rome at amateur level.
His peak was obviously at Lazio. He made his debut making one appearance and was in the squad that won the Coppa. He was coached by Eriksson and trained alongside some Lazio legends.
