Biography

Midfielder Eugenio Corini scored 38 goals in 346 Serie A appearances with clubs like Juventus, Napoli, Brescia, Piacenza, Verona, Chievo, Palermo and Torino, with whom he ended his career, after nearly two decades, in 2009.

Despite never winning a full international cap, Corini won three under-23 caps, and in the early 1990s, established himself as a regular in the Italian under-21 squad, winning 33 caps. He was a member of the 1992 UEFA European Under-21 Championship-winning team. He also represented Italy at the Barcelona Olympics that same year but, against Poland, was sent off, just a few minutes after Luca Luzardi was also dismissed. Corini’s tournament ended there.

After his retirement, Corini turned to coaching with Portosummaga (2010), Crotone (2011), Frosinone Calcio (2012), A.C. ChievoVerona (2012-14), Palermo (2017), Novara Calcio (2017) and in October 2018 he was appointed coach of Serie B team Brescia.
