Francesco Coco Biography

Francesco Coco is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on January 8, 1977 in Paterno Calabro, Calabria, Italy. Francesco Coco (Italian pronunciation: [fran’tSesko’ko’o] ; born on the 8th of January, 1977) is an Italian retired footballer who was a defender. While naturally left-footed but he was left-wing-back (his preferred place of play) as well, or more frequently as a left-back. He played for each of AC Milan and Inter Milan and also spent a season at Barcelona. At the beginning of his stage of his career Coco displayed a lot of promise, and was considered an ideal replacement for Paolo Maldini; however, Coco did not live the expectations.

in 2002 Milan made a trade of Coco to Inter in a part-exchange deal in exchange for Clarence Seedorf, worth EUR28 million. Although Inter reached in the 2002-03 Champions League semi-finals and winning the 2004-05 Coppa Italia the time Coco spent at Inter was marred by injuries. Coco has since made appearances in interviews, claiming that Nerazzurri committed a mistake having him go through back surgery back in the month of November. They told that he could not be absent for more than one month. Then, he had to recuperate over two years. The year 2005 was the time he was lent to Livorno following his rejection of an offer to Newcastle United despite playing a friendly match against Yeading F.C. in which he was a star in a 5-0 victory at home. He also played for Livorno but after the conclusion of his loan contract ended, he was back at Inter. In his summer in 2006, he was looking for an alternative club but, in the end, the negotiations fell through and Coco continued to play for Inter.

In January 2007, he joined English club Manchester City on a trial but after three days the club told him he was not in their plans. Later the English newspapers alleged that Manchester City was no longer interested in him because he had turned up for training smoking a cigarette. After a loan to Torino for the 2006–07 season, he went back to Inter for the first part of the summer but mutually rescinded his contract with the Milan-based club on 7 September 2007. Later Coco declared his intention to quit football in order to pursue an acting career despite the rumoured interest of MLS sides New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls.

Coco was a quick, physical, and tactically versatile player, who was primarily deployed as an offensive-minded fullback or as a wingback, due to his tenacity, and work-rate, as well as his defensive and offensive attributes. Although he was naturally right footed, he was also capable of playing both on the right and the left flank, and was known for his strong tackling, physicality, determination, and crossing ability with both feet. Due to his pace, stamina, skill, and technique, he was also occasionally utilised as a wide midfielder in a 3–5–2 or 3–4–3 formation. Despite his talent, he was often injury-prone and inconsistent, while he had a difficult character and lacked discipline off the pitch; his chances were often limited both at club and international level, due to the presence of Paolo Maldini in his position, whom Coco had initially been tipped to replace as Milan and Italy’s starting left-back.

Coco’s debut as a full-time player as a member of the Italy national team in a 3-0 win over Romania on the 7th of October 2000, during the 2002 World Cup qualifying match under Giovanni Trapattoni. Coco also represented Italy at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and was the last player to be invited to the national team during September of 2002. He earned 17 caps with the Azzurri.
