Club career

AC Milan and loan to Monza

Stroppa started his playing career in AC Milan's youth system, and was loaned for two seasons at Monza, a de facto Milan feeder club at the time.^{[citation needed]} He returned to Milan in 1989, making his professional senior debut for the club in the Coppa Italia on 23 August, in a 0–0 away draw against Parma;^{[citation needed]} Milan later reached the Coppa Italia final, only to be defeated by Juventus.^{[citation needed]} He made his Serie A debut on 27 August 1989, in a 3–0 away win over Cesena, marking the occasion by scoring a long-range goal.^{[citation needed]} Stroppa finished his first season with the team by winning a European Cup, a European Super Cup, and an Intercontinental Cup in 1990, under coach Arrigo Sacchi.[3]

Lazio and Foggia

In 1991, he signed for Lazio,^{[citation needed]} and in 1993 he moved to Foggia, then an outsider Serie A team known for their spectacular, offensive style of play under coach Zdeněk Zeman.^{[citation needed]}

Return to AC Milan

After an impressive season with Foggia, he returned to the Stadio San Siro to play with Milan for a single season, winning his third UEFA Super Cup with the club, as well as the Supercoppa Italiana.^{[citation needed]} In total, Stroppa made 85 appearances for Milan, scoring nine goals; he made his final appearance for the club in a 1–0 away defeat to Napoli, in Serie A, on 18 May 1995.[3]

Final years

After leaving Milan, Stroppa then played two seasons with Udinese, and two seasons and a half with Piacenza, before joining Brescia in the 2001 winter transfer market. After a few other experiences with Genoa in Serie B, Alzano Virescit of Serie C1 and Avellino of Serie B, he returned to Foggia, in Serie C1, in 2004.[3]

He retired in late 2005, after a short spell with Chiari [it] of Serie D, where he was joined by his former Brescia teammate and striker Dario Hübner.[3]

International career

Stroppa's notable performances for the club even allowed him to make his debut for the Italy national football team on 13 October 1993, in a 3–1 home win over Scotland;[3] in total, he made four appearances for Italy between 1993 and 1994, under his former Milan manager Sacchi.[4]

Managerial career

AC Milan U21

Stroppa was coach of Milan's under-21 team for the 2010–11 season, but was relieved of his duties on 11 June 2011, with a year still to run on his contract, and just one week after losing 1–0 to Roma in the quarter-finals of the Campionato Primavera.[5]

Südtirol

On 13 July 2011 he was unveiled as new head coach of Südtirol.[6]

Pescara

On 8 June 2012, he was named head coach of Serie A newcomers Pescara, replacing Zdeněk Zeman, his former boss during his first spell as a player at Foggia, who was signed by Roma a few days before his appointment.[7] He was assisted by Andrea Guerra, Francesco Sità, Andrea Tonelli and Massimo Marini.^{[citation needed]} He resigned as coach of Pescara on 18 November 2012, after a series of bad results and the team has fallen in the middle of the relegation zone.^{[citation needed]} He left the club along with Guerra (vice-coach) and two assistants Sità and Tonelli.^{[citation needed]}

Spezia

In June 2013, he was named new head coach of Serie B club Spezia.[8]

Return to Südtirol

On 20 April 2015, Stroppa returned as head coach of Südtirol; ending the 2014–15 season in tenth place.^{[citation needed]} The following season, Stroppa helped the side finish in tenth place once again.^{[citation needed]} On 12 May 2016, Südtirol communicated that Stroppa's contract would not be renewed following its expiration on 30 June.^{[citation needed]}

Foggia

On 14 August 2016, he was appointed by Foggia.^{[citation needed]} He reached a promotion to Serie B with the Pugliese team.^{[citation needed]}

Crotone

In June 2018, Stroppa was appointed as coach of Crotone, replacing Walter Zenga.[9] Crotone announced the dismissal of Stroppa on 29 October 2018.[10] He was reinstated as head coach on 28 December 2018, following the resignation of Massimo Oddo, who had previously replaced him in charge of the Calabrian club.[11]

Since his return at Crotone, Stroppa led the Calabrian club to twelfth place in his first season, and was awarded a new contract.[12] On his second season, he led Crotone to automatic promotion to Serie A, leading the Rossoblu back to the top flight after a two-year absence. His debut season as a Serie A manager however did not prove to be successful, as Crotone struggled to stay out of the relegation zone, leading to Stroppa being sacked on 1 March 2021.[13]

Monza

On 28 May 2021, it was announced that Stroppa would be appointed head coach of Monza on 1 July.[14] He returned to the club 32 years after his experience as a player.[14] Stroppa's first win as a Monza coach came on 29 August, helping his side win 1–0 at home against Cremonese.[15]

He guided Monza to fourth place in the regular season, missing out on automatic promotion following a 0–1 loss to Perugia in the final game, which allowed Cremonese and Pisa to overtake the Biancorossi, who were placed in second place with one game to go.[16] In the promotion playoff tournament, Monza entered in the semifinals, where they eliminated Brescia, and then defeated Pisa in a two-legged final on a 6–4 aggregate result (after extra time), thus ensuring themselves a historical first promotion to Serie A in the 110-year club history.[17]

Confirmed in charge of the Brianzoli for the club's debut Serie A season, Stroppa was however dismissed on 13 September 2022 after achieving only one point in the first six games of the season.[18]

Style of play

A quick, energetic, and talented, yet injury-prone player, Stroppa was mainly known for his technical skills, and his ability to create chances for teammates, which enabled him to play in several creative midfield and attacking roles: he was initially deployed as an attacking midfielder, or as a supporting striker, but he was also used as a winger, and even as a central midfielder on occasion; he later played as a deep-lying playmaker during the final seasons of his career.[3][19][20]
