Stefano Scappini is an Italian target man, a physically imposing striker who uses his 186cm frame to hold up play, win aerial duels, and bring teammates into the game. Born in 1988, Scappini developed in the Italian lower leagues, where his traditional center-forward attributes were highly valued. He has been a consistent goal threat for multiple Serie C clubs, often serving as the focal point of the attack. A hallmark of his career has been his ability to score important goals in big moments, including winners in playoff finals or against rival teams. While his market value is modest, his contribution to teams is immense, often measured in more than just goals through his work rate and physical presence. Scappini's honors include being a promotion-winning hero for at least one club, where his goals were instrumental in the success. He is the archetypal old-school number nine, a handful for defenders and a beloved figure for the fans of the teams he has led the line for.
