Nicola Nanni (born 2 May 2000) is a Sammarinese footballer who plays as a forward for Italian Serie D club Olbia and the San Marino national team. He is considered one of the most experienced Sammarinese football players along with Massimo Bonini. He is one of only a few professional footballers from San Marino.[1]
Club career
In July 2016, Nanni joined Cesena from San Marino Calcio for his first move outside of his homeland.[2]
He signed a 5-year deal for Crotone of Serie B on 3 August 2018.[3] Three days later he made his professional debut during a 4–0 victory against Giana Erminio in the 2018–19 Coppa Italia. On 29 August 2019, he joined Monopoli on loan.[4]
Nanni received the 2019 San Marino Golden Boy Award [it], an honour given to the best San Marino footballer under the age of 23.[5]
On 23 September 2020, he returned to Cesena on loan.[6] Nanni was loaned out again, this time to Lucchese 1905 of Serie C, in August 2021 for the 2021–22 season.[7]
On 15 July 2022, Nanni signed a two-year contract with Olbia in Serie C.[8]
International career
Nanni made his senior national team debut on 15 November 2018 in a 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D match against Moldova.[9][10] He scored his first senior international goal on 5 September 2021 in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Poland.[11] Though San Marino ultimately lost 7–1, Nanni's goal was his nation's first home goal in World Cup qualification in eight years.[12]
