Massimo Cannizzaro (born 3 April 1981, in Cologne) is a German football coach and former player.[1]

Life and Career

Both his parents come from the Sicilian town Modica, from where his parents came to Cologne to work in the gastronomy industry. In an interview, he said that italian footballer Roberto Baggio is his idol.[2]

Despite his hopes, he was never called up to the Italian U18 team. This would have extended his career to international football.[2]
