Giovanni Federico (born October 4, 1980 in Hagen ) is a former German - Italian soccer player .

Career

Giovanni Federico, whose father is Italian and whose mother is German, played for SSV Hagen from 1985 to 1993 and then moved to VfL Bochum , for which he was active until 2000. Then he played in the amateur and professional team of 1. FC Cologne , where he could not really assert himself as an "eternal talent". In the 2004/05 season, however, he scored 20 goals for the Cologne amateur team and was then committed by the Karlsruher SC for the first team.

After he cut a good figure on the pitch in the preparation games of the 2005/06 season and contributed a goal in both the 3-2 win against VfB Stuttgart and the 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich, he was now part of the team of the second division club from Baden. In his first second division game for KSC, he scored the goal against Sportfreunde Siegen to make it 2-0.

In the 2005/06 season Federico was with 14 goals and eight assists the top scorer in the league and the second best goalscorer. In the 2006/07 season he was the most successful player in the second division, and was both top scorer and top scorer with 19 goals and 14 assists. He was voted player of the season in the second division by the specialist magazine kicker and the internet portals sport1.de and bundesliga.de .

For the 2007/08 season he moved to Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer . There he signed a contract dated until summer 2010. Federico scored his first goal for BVB on matchday 4 in a 1-0 win in Rostock . With Borussia he reached the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin , which was lost on April 19, 2008 1: 2 against FC Bayern Munich . He was not in the BVB squad for this game.

After Federico was only used sporadically in the first half of the 2008/09 season , he returned to Karlsruher SC on loan during the winter break . He scored his first goal after his return on matchday 19 in KSC's 3-2 win against Hamburger SV. At the end of the season, KSC was relegated to the Second Bundesliga, and Federico's loan deal was not extended. Since he no longer played a role in Borussia Dortmund's plans, he moved to Arminia Bielefeld in July 2009 , where he signed a contract until 2011. Due to the club's financial problems, he only stayed there for a year.

For the 2010/11 season , Federico moved back to his former youth club, the Bundesliga relegated VfL Bochum , where he signed a two-year contract. In his first year he was the most dangerous midfielder in Westphalia with seven goals and reached third place in the table with the team. In the relegation, however, they missed the return to the top division.

On May 23, 2012 he announced that after his time at VfL Bochum he would no longer be active in professional football. In mid-August 2012, he agreed on a contract with FC Viktoria Köln that ran until June 30, 2013 and continued his active career in the Regionalliga West . Since his contract with Cologne expired, Federico was without a club until he joined the upper division TuS Ennepetal at the end of January 2014 . He ended his career there in the summer of 2016. At the end of October 2016, however, he made himself available again to his former youth club, SSV Hagen, in the district league. After promotion to the regional league, he took over the position of player-coach for the 2017/18 season . In February 2018 he stopped for professional reasons and ended his coaching activity.
