Andrea Pisanu

Andrea Pisanu (born 7 January 1982) is an Italian football coach and former player.

In January 2010 he joined Bologna in a co-ownership deal, in a direct swap with Francesco Valiani.

[6][7] It allowed both clubs to make a profit with the move, notably about €3.5 million for Valiani[8] and €4,919,160 for Pisanu.

On 3 January 2013, Bologna signed an agreement with Montreal Impact in MLS to loan Pisanu to the Canadian club.

He is nicknamed "Il colto maltese" (the Cultured from Malta) for his philosophy system, inspired by Marcelo Bielsa, which requires great teamwork and understanding between teammates.

[17][18] In 2016, following the end of his career as a player, Pisanu was appointed as the coach of Malta Division One team Melita.
