Daniele Galloppa (Italian pronunciation: [daˈnjɛːle ɡalˈlɔppa]; born 15 May 1985) is an Italian football manager and a former player who played as a midfielder. He is currently the Under-19 coach of Fiorentina.
Although he was usually deployed as a central midfielder, he was also capable of playing as a left winger.[1][2][3] Despite his ability and reputation as a promising prospect in Italian football, he has struggled with several injuries throughout his career.[4][5][6]
Roma
In August 2006 Galloppa was loaned to Serie A club Ascoli.[7]
Siena
On 30 January 2007, Galloppa was loaned to Siena. On 17 February 2007, he played his first club match for Siena against Milan.[8]
Galloppa was sold to Siena on 9 July 2007, in a co-ownership deal for €1.1 million.[9] In June 2008 Siena signed the remain 50% registration rights of Galloppa for €1.75 million; 50% registration rights of Gianluca Curci for €1.75 million; Roma signed keeper Artur for €750,000, Simone Loria for €2.8 million in exchange.[10] Thus, only €50,000 cash was involved.
Parma
On 26 June 2009, Galloppa left Siena to join Parma in a co-ownership deal, for €5 million.[11][12] Parma also signed Manuel Coppola for €3 million[13] and Siena signed Francesco Parravicini for €2.5 million and half of the registration rights of Reginaldo for €2.5 million.[11] This only €3 million cash in the mega swap deals.
Galloppa instantly became a fixture in a newly promoted side that finished in an excellent seventh position in the 2009–10 season. In June 2010, the co-ownership between Parma and Siena on Galloppa and Reginaldo was renewed.[14] The following season was disrupted by an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee he sustained in a pre-season friendly against Shakhtar Donetsk on 10 August 2010, which kept him out until January 2011;[4][5][15] as a result, Galloppa was able to make only 11 appearances (six as a substitute) all season. Nevertheless, Parma bought his registration outright in June 2011.[16] Parma signed him for the pre-agreed price of €5 million,[11] which Siena got Reginaldo also for the pre-agreed price of €2.5 million[11] as well as full registration rights of Ângelo for €2.5 million, which a year before was a free agent.[11]
On 21 October 2012, Galloppa injured the cruciate ligament of his left knee once again in a league match against Sampdoria, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season; he returned to action in the summer of 2013, in time for Parma's summer training camp.[5] On 31 July 2013, Galloppa injured himself in a friendly match against Marseiille, rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee.[17] He returned to action for the final match of the 2013–14 season.[5] The next season, Galloppa made 19 appearances for Parma.[5]
Modena
Following Parma's bankruptcy, on 8 September 2015, Galloppa was signed by Serie B club Modena, joining Hernán Crespo at the side, who had previously coached him at Parma.[18] After making 15 appearances during the first half of the 2015–16 season, on 7 February 2016, Galloppa suffered yet another injury to the cruciate ligament of his right knee in a 0–0 home draw against Cesena, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season; this was his fourth significant knee injury in five years.[4][19][20][21]
International career
Galloppa was a member of the Italy U20 squad at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.[22] He scored two goals in the tournament, one in Italy's final match of the group stage on 18 June, a 4–1 win against Canada,[23] and one in a 3–1 win against the United States in the round of 16, on 21 June,[24] as Italy reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, only to lose to Morocco on penalties; Galloppa missed Italy's first penalty in the resulting shoot-out.[23] He was later also capped for the Olympic U21 team at the 2008 Toulon Tournament, which the Italians proceeded to win.[25]
On 6 June 2009, Galloppa made his senior national team debut in a friendly match in Pisa against Northern Ireland, coming on as a substitute in the 3–0 win.[26] He made his second appearance for Italy later that year, in a 1–0 friendly home win against Sweden in Cesena, on 18 November.[27]
