Scouting Report & Player Insights
Federico Ceccherini is a veteran Italian centre-back known for his physicality, aerial presence and no-nonsense defending built up over a long Serie A and Serie B career, including spells at Verona, Torino and Cagliari. Now with Cremonese following their promotion to Serie A, he offers experience and organisational steel to a newly-promoted backline. He is not a ball-playing or mobile defender, but rather a combative stopper who relies on positioning and duels. His role is likely to be that of a dependable squad centre-back rather than a first-choice standout.
