Career

Born in Vizzolo Predabissi, The Province of Milan, Ticli started his career at Internazionale. In mid-1999, he left on loan to Padova of Serie C2, then Arezzo of Serie C1, along with Nello Russo, Giovanni Passiglia and Cristian Lizzori.{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?L=it&N=168|title=CON MARIO CORSO, 4 GIOVANI ALL'AREZZO|date=14 July 2000|accessdate=25 January 2010|publisher=inter.it|language=Italian|archive-date=9 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121009235222/http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=168&L=it|url-status=dead}} In 2001–02 season, he played for Reggiana of Serie C1, which the club signed him in a co-ownership deal for 1,000 million lire (€516,457),FC Internazionale Milano SpA Report and Accounts on 30 June 2002 {{in lang|it}} and San Marino Calcio of Serie C2. In June 2002 Inter bought back Ticli{{cite web |url=http://www.lega-calcio.it/ita/partecipazioni2002.pdf |title=Archived copy |website=www.lega-calcio.it |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071118213039/http://www.lega-calcio.it/ita/partecipazioni2002.pdf |archive-date=18 November 2007 |url-status=dead}} and he signed for Monza of Serie C2, the only club he played for two seasons.

In summer 2003, he was involved in a swap deal with A.C. Milan, which Ticli, Alessandro Livi, Salvatore Ferraro, and Marco Varaldi moved to AC Milan (50% for €1.75 million except Livi, €1.725 million); Matteo Giordano, Ronny Diuk Toma, Simone Brunelli and Matteo Deinite moved to Inter (50% for €1.5 million each). Later the deal was criticized by press as it made false profit to balance sheet, as the transfer fees were paid via player exchange, but in balance sheet, the nominal value could be adjusted by two clubs. The tactics are commonly used to make the transfer fees larger in Italian football.{{cite news|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=400330&cc=3888|title=Inter and AC Milan chiefs face new probe|date=17 January 2007|accessdate=25 January 2010|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|agency=Reuters|archive-date=20 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020133340/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=400330&cc=3888|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Primo_Piano/2007/01_Gennaio/20/plusvalenze.shtml|title=L'insulto: "Sei una plusvalenza"|date=20 January 2007|accessdate=25 January 2010|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=Italian}}

Ticli stayed at Monza, by then part of the province of Milan for another season. In 2004–05 season, he left on loan to Lanciano of Serie C1, then in 2005–06 season for Serie B club Catanzaro. In January 2006, he left for Pro Patria of Serie C1 on loan.

In June 2007, the co-ownership agreement ended with AC Milan fully contracted with Ticli,{{cite news|url=http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?L=en&N=26755|title=Transfer market: co-ownership deals|date=20 June 2007|accessdate=25 January 2010|publisher=Inter.it|archive-date=10 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010104653/http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=26755&L=en|url-status=dead}} but then he was released.

In January 2008, he returned to Lombardy for Pavia of Serie C2 before retiring from professional football.
