Player career

society

Vincenzo Montella came to Sampdoria Genoa in 1996 via the then third division club FC Empoli and the Serie B club CFC Genoa , where he made his breakthrough in Serie A. At the end of the 1996/97 season , he finished second behind Filippo Inzaghi with 22 goals in the Serie A goalscorer list . In 1999 he moved to AS Roma , where he was able to celebrate the greatest successes of his career and was awarded to Fulham FC , in the English Premier League , during the winter break of the 2006/07 season . In the summer of 2007, the attacker switched to Sampdoria Genoa on loan and returned to Rome the following year. The striker was then unable to build on his best times and ended his active career in 2009.

One of his most famous trademarks became a sailor after scoring, which earned him the nickname L'aeroplanino (the little airplane).

Montella's career was marked by many highs and, especially in crucial moments, even more lows, which possibly prevented a higher level of international awareness corresponding to his achievements (141 goals in 286 Serie A games; 0.49 goals per game) . These statistics are at a similarly high level for strikers who became international stars in Serie A ( Christian Vieri 0.60; Andrij Shevchenko 0.60; Gabriel Batistuta 0.58).

His greatest success was winning the Italian championship with AS Roma in 2001.
