Francesco Tavano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Tavano (born 2 March 1979 in Caserta) is an Italian footballer.
Tavano is a striker and currently plays for Valencia CF of La Liga. He was the top scorer of his former club Empoli, and was considered one of the stars of the small Tuscan team, which he joined in 2001, as well as one of the most talented Italian youngsters of his generation. During the 2006 January transfer window,, several Italian football pundits claimed that Real Madrid were interested in signting Tavano, but would eventually sign for Valencia during Summer 2006.
Tavano has also played for Rondinella (1999/2000 and 2000/2001, both times in Serie C2) and Pisa (January-June 2000, Serie C1).

Tavano was called "Ciccio-gol" by the Empoli fans.
