Massimo Coda (born 10 November 1988) is an Italian professional footballer who last played as a striker for Serie C Group C club Catania. He is the all-time top goalscorer in Serie B.

Career

Coda started his career at Cavese. Aged 16, he signed for Swiss club Bellinzona. He then moved on loan to Cisco Roma, before Treviso made a permanent move for the player in July 2007, for €350,000.[1]

Bologna

On 26 June 2008, Bologna signed Coda in a joint-ownership deal on a five-year contract (for €1.05 million, with Dino Fava returning to Treviso for €900,000 (i.e. €150,000 cash),[1][nb 1]). He was immediately sent on loan to Cremonese.[2] In June 2009, Bologna signed Coda outright, for €100,000,[3] with Tedeschi also signed by Treviso outright, for €1,000. He remained in Cremona for two more seasons, with the club having purchased him in a co-ownership deal for €150,000 (the same amount of cash that Bologna paid in 2008), in June 2010.[4][5] In June 2011, Coda returned to Bologna again for just €25,000, on a two-year contract.[6] On 3 January 2012, he was loaned to Siracusa.[7] On 31 August 2012, Coda left for San Marino Calcio on a free transfer.[8][9][10]

Parma

In June 2013, he joined Parma for an undisclosed fee. On 1 July 2013,[11] Coda was loaned to Slovenian club Gorica along with Bright Addae, Daniele Bazzoffia, Uroš Celcer, Alex Cordaz, Sebestyén Ihrig-Farkas, Alen Jogan, Gianluca Lapadula, Floriano Vanzo and Fabio Lebran (Crotone/Parma). The deals were finalized on 12 July.[12] In the Slovenian PrvaLiga, he made 33 appearances and scored 18 goals, finishing the 2013–14 Slovenian PrvaLiga season second among the league's top goalscorers. After one season of playing in Slovenia, Coda returned to Parma and made his Serie A debut for the club during the 2014–15 season. On 21 September 2014, in a match against Chievo, he came on to the pitch as a substitute in the 63rd minute and finished the match with a goal and two assists, helping his side to a 3–2 away win.[13] Coda was released by Parma in the summer of 2015, following the club's bankruptcy.

Salernitana

On 29 August 2015, he signed for Salernitana on a three-year contract.[14]

Benevento

On 1 July 2017, Coda joined Serie A newcomers Benevento.[15] He spent three seasons in Benevento, scoring 34 goals in 95 games.

Lecce

On 26 August 2020, Coda joined Lecce. He ended the 2020–21 Serie B season as the league's top scorer with 22 goals, becoming the first Lecce player to be crowned top scorer in Serie B and helping the club to reach the play-offs. In the following season he was the league's top scorer for a second time with 20 goals, helping Lecce to achieve promotion to Serie A.

Genoa

On 30 June 2022, Coda signed for Genoa.[16]

On 27 August 2023, he returned on loan to Cremonese, with an option to buy.[17]

Sampdoria

Coda signed for Sampdoria in the summer of 2024.[18] In June 2025, he scored in the relegation playout against Salernitana, a match that was abandoned and subsequently forfeited after Salernitana fans rioted, with Sampdoria being awarded a 3–0 victory, thus avoiding relegation from Serie B.[19][20] In February 2026 he became the all-time goalscorer in Serie B, surpassing the record of 135 previously held by Stefan Schwoch, after scoring against Südtirol.[21] He left Sampdoria in July 2026.[22]
