Parenthetical Citation?
I am writing an argument of fact essay. My teacher told me to use Parenthetical references. But I need a little help. I took this quote from Mr. Greg Aiello
"It’s quite obvious from the medical research that’s been done that concussions can lead to long-term problems.”
I found this quote in Thomas Drysdale's writing. So I cited it like this:
Mr. Aiello says “It’s quite obvious from the medical research that’s been done that concussions can lead to long-term problems.” (Drysdale)
Is that wrong? My teaecher told me the parenthetical citation goes before the period, but I'm not sure what to do with a quote? Please help!

Yes, that's fine. You have stated in the sentence itself that the original source of the quotation is Aiello, and in the parenthetical citation that it was quoted in Drysdale. That's all fine.
And the punctuation should be like this:
.... lead to long-term problems" (Drysdale).
