Enrico Annoni (born 10 July 1966) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a defender.
He played for several years in Serie A with Como, Torino and Roma. He then moved to Scotland to play for Celtic for two years, before returning home to Italy to care for his ill father. Annoni had a brief spell as assistant coach at Padova and then at Serie B side Catania in the same role.
Annoni began his career in the early 1980s as a defender with Serie D side, Seregno. [1] In season 1983-84 he moved to Serie B side, Como and played 2 games in their successful campaign for promotion that year to Serie A. [1] Annoni was then loaned out to Sambenedettese for two seasons before returning to Como for season 1987–88. He became a regular in the team, making 95 league appearances in 3 seasons. [2] Annoni was now an established defender, able to play at either centre-back or full-back positions. [1]
In 1990 Annoni joined Torino. [2] He quickly became popular with the fans who nicknamed him 'Tarzan'. [3] [4] He picked up his first silverware in June 1991 when Torino beat Pisa in the final of the Mitropa Cup. [5] He was then part of the Torino side that reached the UEFA Cup Final in 1992, playing in all the games leading up to the final [6] and scoring in the first round against Knattspyrnufélag Reykjavíkur [7] and second round against Boavista. [8] Annoni played in the first leg of the final against Ajax, a 2–2 draw at home, [9] but missed the second leg through suspension. That match finished 0–0, with Ajax winning the UEFA Cup on the away goals rule. [10]
In June 1993 Annoni picked up his first major silverware when Torino defeated Roma on away goals in the final of the Coppa Italia. [11]
Annoni joined Roma in 1994. [12] He was a regular in the team in his first two seasons there, but only made 12 league appearances in his third season, 1996–97. [2]
In February 1997 Annoni moved abroad to join Scottish Premier Division side, Celtic. [13] During his time in Scotland, he won the Scottish Premier Division title [14] and the Scottish League Cup. [15] He left Celtic in July 1999 to return to Italy to care for his ill father. [16]
Annoni made a guest appearance for Celtic in May 2008 in the benefit game for former Celtic team-mate Phil O'Donnell, who died in December 2007 whilst playing for Motherwell. [17] [18]
Annoni is the subject of an anecdote whereby, in a match in the late 1990s where Celtic were performing poorly and Annoni had just been brought on as a substitute, a fan is reported to have exclaimed in his native Scots; "Aw naw, no Annoni oan an aw noo!" (Oh no, not Annoni on as well now!). [19]
In July 2013, Annoni joined Dario Marcolin's coaching staff, becoming assistant coach at Serie B side Padova. [20] He lasted just two months in this role, and was sacked in September along with Marcolin himself and goalkeeping coach Gaetano Petrelli. [21]
On 3 January 2015, he followed Marcolin at Catania, becoming an assistant coach at the club. [22]
