My Take

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.

Overview

Federico Zani (born 9 April 1989) was an Italian rugby union player. His usual position was as a prop, and he has been playing in the United Rugby Championship for Benetton since 2016. From summer 2023, he is the Coach of woman section of Red Panthers Treviso. Under contract with Mogliano, in 2015–16 Pro12 season, he was named as Additional Player for Benetton Treviso in Pro 12.
