Career
editEarly career
editCoppola's career began at native club Napoli, he was used as a backup goalkeeper for Giuseppe Taglialatela, Luca Mondini and Alessio Bandieri. In June 2000, he joined Roma as backup to Francesco Antonioli.
Ascoli
editHe transferred to Serie B team Ascoli in the summer of 2003, making one appearance before being sent to Serie A team Reggina on loan, playing further two games.
He returned to Ascoli in 2004, and made 28 appearances, plus two more in play-offs, helping Ascoli achieve promotion back to Serie A. During the 2005–06 season, Coppola played all of the 38 Serie A fixtures, and saw Ascoli finish twelfth place in the table.
Milan and Piacenza
editCoppola was signed by A.C. Milan in June 2006, for €200,000,[1] as a replacement for their third choice goalkeeper Valerio Fiori, who was set to retire from professional football. Coppola was to compete with Željko Kalac for this position.
He played a few friendly matches with A.C. Milan, but was sent back to Serie B, to play for Piacenza, because Fiori delayed his retirement.
Atalanta
editIn the summer of 2007, he was loaned to Atalanta in Serie A.
In June 2008, Atalanta bought half of the rights from Milan for €750,000.[2]
Siena
editAfter Atalanta were relegated, Milan bought him back for €200,000[3] and loaned him to Siena.[4] Two days later Siena sold Gianluca Curci to Sampdoria.
Torino
editOn 30 June 2011, Torino announced the signing of Coppola on a temporary basis from Milan.[5] Before the start of the 2012–13, Coppola was sentenced to a six-month ban, later reduced to four months on appeal, for his involvement in the 2011–12 Italian football scandal.[6] After serving the ban, during the January transfer window he re-joined Torino, this time on a permanent deal.[7]
Back in Milan
editOn 19 August 2013, he was re-signed by Milan.[8]
