Bologna

edit

On 26 June 2008, Bologna signed Coda in a joint-ownership deal on a five-year contract (for €1.05 million, with Dino Fava returning to Treviso for €900,000 (i.e. €150,000 cash),[1][nb 1]). He was immediately sent on loan to Cremonese.[2] In June 2009, Bologna signed Coda outright, for €100,000,[3] with Tedeschi also signed by Treviso outright, for €1,000. He remained in Cremona for two more seasons, with the club having purchased him in a co-ownership deal for €150,000 (the same amount of cash that Bologna paid in 2008), in June 2010.[4][5] In June 2011, Coda returned to Bologna again for just €25,000, on a two-year contract.[6] On 3 January 2012, he was loaned to Siracusa.[7] On 31 August 2012, Coda left for San Marino Calcio on a free transfer.[8][9][10]
