International Debut 10/07/2000 v Romania (won 3-0)
Francesco Coco made his Serie A debut with AC Milan on 27 August 1995. He was a member of the rossoneri squad that won the Italian League titles in 1996 and 1999. Because of strong competition for places at Milan and a subsequent lack of first team appearances, Coco has had loan spells at Vicenza and Torino. The wingback currently plays for Spanish giants FC Barcelona. At a time when it is all too fashionable to lament the problems faced by young Italian players trying to emerge in Serie A, the young man has proved that there is still space at the top for homegrown quality talent. Trapattoni apparently had no worries about throwing young Coco into the fray, and he made an excellent debut, using his pace to constantly get behind the Romanian defence down the left flank. The Italians would appear to have found a new, important player for the future.
