Nicola Nanni (born 2 May 2000) is a Sammarinese footballer who plays as a forward for Italian Serie C Group B club Lucchese, on loan from Crotone, and the San Marino national team. 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  [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]

International career[]

Nanni made his senior national team debut on 15 November 2018 in a 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D match against Moldova.[8][9] He scored his first senior international goal on 5 September 2021 in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Poland.[10] Though San Marino ultimately lost 7–1, Nanni's goal was his nation's first home goal in World Cup qualification in eight years.[11]
