A striker with an angelic face but “tough” against the defences, Marco Grassi arrived at Stade Rennes in August 1994. From his first match, his love story with the red and black club started with a first goal and a victory against Bordeaux. Skilful in front of the goals, he scored 15 goals in the league for his first season and mainly contributed to the club’s success in avoiding relegation to Division 2. Handicapped by few physical problems, his second season was not as good, even though he scored 11 goals. Having caught the attention of several Division 1 clubs, he was transferred to AS Monaco. Champion of France with Monaco a year later, he didn’t reach the same performance level as during his Rennes’ period. He moved then to Sion, Cannes, Lyon and finally Nice, without any success. In 2006, he became president of FC Chiasso, his first club, before resigning in 2009.
