Giovanni Stroppa (born 24 January 1968 in Mulazzano, Province of Lodi) is an Italian former football midfielder.

Career

Stroppa started his playing career in the AC Milan's youth system, and was loaned for two seasons at Monza, then a sort of AC Milan feeder club. He returned to AC Milan in 1989, where he won an European Cup and an Intercontinental Cup in 1990 under coach Arrigo Sacchi. On 1991 he signed for Lazio, and on 1993 he moved to Foggia, then an outsider Serie A team known for its spectacular style of play and its coach Zdenek Zeman. After an impressive season with Foggia which allowed him to make his debut for the Italian national team, he returned at Stadio San Siro to play with the "rossoneri" for a single season. He then played two seasons with Udinese and two seasons and a half with Piacenza Calcio before joining Brescia Calcio in the 2001 winter transfer market. After a few other experiences with Genoa in the Serie B, Alzano Virescit of Serie C1 and Avellino of Serie B, he returned at Foggia, now in Serie C1, on 2004. He retired in late 2005, after a short spell with Chiari of Serie D.

He is currently involved within the AC Milan youth section, as head coach of the "Giovanissimi Regionali "B" (13-year-old players) squad.
