Born in Rome, Lazio, Coppola started his professional career at Tivoli.

In mid-2006 Coppola joined Genoa outright for an undisclosed fee, while Messina secured the services of Antonio Ghomsi for free,[3] Daniele De Vezze and Massimo Minetti.

In January 2008, he moved to another Serie A club Siena in a temporary deal, with the option to buy half of the registration rights.

The deals, again effectively made Genoa acquired Kharja for €4 million cash plus 50% registration rights of Coppola and Pegolo.

On 15 July 2014, Siena officially expelled from Serie B due to financial difficulties, thus Coppola became a free agent.

[19] Catania was relegated at the start of 2015–16 season due to match fixing scandal, thus Coppola left the club.

On 27 August 2015, Coppolla was signed by Serie B club Ternana Calcio in a one-year deal.
