Ferdinando Coppola (born 10 June 1978) is a former Italian professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Coppola's career began at native club Napoli, he was used as a backup goalkeeper for Giuseppe Taglialatela, Luca Mondini and Alessio Bandieri. In June 2000, he joined Roma as backup to Francesco Antonioli.
Ascoli
[edit]He transferred to Serie B team Ascoli in the summer of 2003, making one appearance before being sent to Serie A team Reggina on loan, playing further two games.
He returned to Ascoli in 2004, and made 28 appearances, plus two more in play-offs, helping Ascoli achieve promotion back to Serie A. During the 2005–06 season, Coppola played all of the 38 Serie A fixtures, and saw Ascoli finish twelfth place in the table.
Milan and Piacenza
[edit]Coppola was signed by A.C. Milan in June 2006, for €200,000,[1] as a replacement for their third choice goalkeeper Valerio Fiori, who was set to retire from professional football. Coppola was to compete with Željko Kalac for this position.
He played a few friendly matches with A.C. Milan, but was sent back to Serie B, to play for Piacenza, because Fiori delayed his retirement.
Atalanta
[edit]In the summer of 2007, he was loaned to Atalanta in Serie A.
In June 2008, Atalanta bought half of the rights from Milan for €750,000.[2]
Siena
[edit]After Atalanta were relegated, Milan bought him back for €200,000[3] and loaned him to Siena.[4] Two days later Siena sold Gianluca Curci to Sampdoria.
Torino
[edit]On 30 June 2011, Torino announced the signing of Coppola on a temporary basis from Milan.[5] Before the start of the 2012–13, Coppola was sentenced to a six-month ban, later reduced to four months on appeal, for his involvement in the 2011–12 Italian football scandal.[6] After serving the ban, during the January transfer window he re-joined Torino, this time on a permanent deal.[7]
Back in Milan
[edit]On 19 August 2013, he was re-signed by Milan.[8]
Bologna
[edit]On 8 July 2014, Coppola moved to Bologna.[9]
