Nicola Pozzi (born 30 June 1986) is an Italian football coach and former striker.
However, he suffered a season-ending knee injury after netting a brace in a 3–1 defeat of Napoli on February 17, and was sidelined for six months, effectively ruling him out of the Azzurrini squad for the 2008 Olympics.
[5] In June 2010, Sampdoria decided to sign him outright,[6] for €5.2 million on a five-year contract.
[citation needed] The deal was a cashless swap, as both Pozzi and Okaka were valued for €2 million.
[13] On 26 June 2021, Pozzi took on his first head coaching role, being appointed at the helm of Tuscan Eccellenza amateur club Grassina.
