Fabio Grosso (born November 28, 1977 in Rome ) is a former Italian football player and today's coach .

In 2006 he became world champion in Germany with the Italian national team , where he made several decisive appearances in the course of the tournament, including in the semifinals against the German selection .

Career

As a player

In the club

The trained defender , who could also be used offensively on the left, began his career in Abruzzo with the Renato Curi Angolana club in Città Sant'Angelo , for whom he was in action from 1994 to 1998. Via clubs in Chieti and Perugia , he came to US Palermo in 2004 and, after his international fame, played for Inter Milan in the 2006/07 season , with whom he won the Italian championship for the first time. In July 2007 he moved to the French series champion Olympique Lyon , where he could not prevail, however, permanently.

On August 31, 2009 Fabio Grosso moved to Juventus Turin for two million euros , where he received a three-year contract. In the 2011/12 season , like five years before, he was Italian champion with his team, although he only made two appearances in the entire season and his contract, which was valid until 2012, was not extended due to poor performance. He ended his career in December 2012.

In the national team

Grosso made his debut on April 30, 2003 under Giovanni Trapattoni in the 2-1 win over Switzerland in the Italian national team .

In 2006 he was part of the Italian squad for the World Cup in Germany . In the run-up, the defender was considered a weak point in the Italian squad, as he should take over the position of the great Paolo Maldini as left full-back after his resignation. Grosso was particularly ridiculed because he had played in the fourth division of Italy five years earlier and acted there as a left winger. Originally, he was only considered as a replacement for the traditional left-back Gianluca Zambrotta . He was used in the first group game against Ghana when Zambrotta was unable to play due to an injury. In the second group game against the USA he was only on the bench again. In all other games, however, Grosso played continuously because Zambrotta was now used on the right side. For the first time in the tournament he stood out in the round of 16 against Australia : In the fifth minute of stoppage time he was fouled in the penalty area by Lucas Neill ; Francesco Totti converted the due penalty to 1-0 into the left corner and spared Italy from extra time. In the semifinals against hosts Germany , Grosso scored the decisive 1-0 in the 119th minute of the game after preparatory work by Andrea Pirlo . In the final against France , he converted the decisive penalty with a left-footed shot in the upper right corner to win the 6: 4 final and thus secured Italy the fourth world championship title.

Until the spring of 2010, Grosso was part of the Italian national team and was placed as a winger on the left. On May 18, 2010, national coach Marcello Lippi announced that Grosso will not be appointed to the Italian squad for the finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after poor performance in Serie A. Even after the tournament, he did not play another international match.

As a trainer

After Grosso attended a coaching course until June 2013, he first became assistant coach of the Juventus youth under Andrea Zanchetta . From March 2014 to summer 2017, he was head coach of the Primavera team. His first professional position at FC Bari in 1908 followed in the summer of 2017 .
