Federico Zani

Federico Zani is the kind of player I always end up admiring. A prop from Parma, he spent years grinding in the scrum for Benetton in the United Rugby Championship, doing the unglamorous work that lets flashier teammates shine. What interests me most is his pivot to coaching the women's side at Treviso from 2023. Born in 1989, he is young for a coach, and there is something fitting about a man who built his career on grit now passing that mentality on. He may never have been a headline name, but the spine of any rugby team is built from exactly this sort of dependable, hard-nosed professional.
