Fabio Pecchia ((:ˈfaːbjo ˈpekkja); born 24 August 1973) is an Italian former footballer who played as a midfielder; he is currently the assistant coach of Real Madrid. Throughout his career, he was also known as "l'avvocato" (the lawyer, in Italian), as he obtained a law degree through the University of Naples. ==Club career== A journeyman with eleven different clubs in his career, Pecchia amassed over 300 first division appearances. He began his career with Avellino in 1991, and remained at the club for two seasons. Despite heavy interest from Parma, he moved to Napoli in 1993, where he played for four seasons, becoming a key figure for the club, although he later struggled to establish himself in other teams. He made his Serie A debut with the Neapolitan club on 29 August 1993, at the age of 20, becoming a vital member of Marcello Lippi's midfield; Pecchia's tactical versatility, speed, technique, vision, and passing range allowed him to excel in Lippi's tactical system which made frequent use of long balls and fast-paced football. With Napoli, Pecchia soon established himself as one of the most promoising and talented young Italian stars of the 90s, due to his leadership and work-rate; during his first season with Napoli, he helped the club qualify for the UEFA Cup. He remained at the club for three more seasons, despite the club's financial difficulties and lack of success during this time. During the 1996-97 season, he was named Napoli's captain, and he helped the club to reach the 1997 Coppa Italia Final under manager Luigi Simoni, in which Napoli was defeated by Vicenza in extra time; during the first leg of the final, Pecchia scored Napoli's winning goal.〔 Despite his attachment to the club, he was sold to Juventus in 1997 for 10 billion Lit., in an attempt to manage the club's debts; he would later return to Napoli, on loan, however, for a single season, in 2001. In total, he made 152 appearances for Napoli, scoring 21 goals.〔 Pecchia spent a single season with Juventus during the 1997-98 season, under his former Napoli manager Marcello Lippi, winning the 1997 Supercoppa Italiana, and the Serie A title with the club that season, also reaching the 1998 UEFA Champions League Final. He made 21 league appearances that season, and scored a decisive goal against Empoli to claim the league title. He struggled to break into the first team, however, and was usually used as a reserve, due to the presence of Zinedine Zidane and Edgar Davids in Juventus's mdifield.〔 Pecchia was subsequently loaned out to Sampdoria for the 1998-99 season, and he was sold to cross-city rivals Torino for 5.9 billion Italian lire (€3,047,096) in 1999, playing the 1999-2000 season with the Turin club, and suffering relegation to Serie B. In June 2001 Juve gave up the remain 50% registration rights to Torino.〔 The following season, Pecchia moved back to Napoli on loan, although he was unable to save the club from relegation to Serie B.〔 He spent the 2001-02 season with Bologna, and remained with the club until the 2005-06 season, although he spent the 2002-03 season with Como, and was loaned out to Siena during the 2004-05 season.〔〔〔 He spent the first half of the 2006-07 Serie A season with Ascoli, but on 31 January 2007, he was signed by Serie C1 side U.S. Foggia. On 10 July 2007 he signed a 1-year contract with Serie B club Frosinone, making 26 appearances for the club, and scoring a goal in a home fixture against Chievo Verona. On 10 June 2008, he returned to Foggia, signing a two-year contract that would keep him at the club until 2010, although he retired during the summer of 2009. In total, he made 446 appearances throughout his career, scoring 50 goals. He made 337 appearances in Serie A, scoring 41 goals, 62 in Serie B, scoring 4 goals, and 47 appearances in Serie C, scoring 5 goals. 〔〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fabio Pecchia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
