Giovanni Stroppa (born 24 January 1968 in Mulazzano, Province of Lodi) is an Italian football coach and former midfielder, currently in charge of club Foggia.
Stroppa started his playing career in A.C. Milan's youth system, and was loaned for two seasons at Monza, a sort of Milan feeder club at the time. He returned to Milan in 1989, making his professional senior debut for the club in the Coppa Italia on 23 August, in a 0–0 away draw against Parma; Milan later reached the Coppa Italia final, only to be defeated by Juventus. He made his Serie A debut on 27 August 1989, in a 3–0 away win over Cesena, marking the occasion by scoring a long-range goal. Stroppa finished his first season with the team by winning a European Cup, a European Super Cup, and an Intercontinental Cup in 1990, under coach Arrigo Sacchi.
In 1991 he signed for Lazio, and in 1993 he moved to Foggia, then an outsider Serie A team known for their spectacular, offensive style of play under coach Zdeněk Zeman. Stroppa's notable performances for the club even allowed him to make his debut for the Italy national football team on 13 October 1993, in a 3–1 home win over Scotland; in total, he made 4 appearances for Italy between 1993 and 1994, under his former Milan manager Sacchi. After an impressive season with Foggia, he returned to the Stadio San Siro to play with the Rossoneri for a single season, winning his third UEFA Super Cup with the club, as well as the Supercoppa Italiana. In total, Stroppa made 85 appearances for Milan, scoring 9 goals; he made his final appearance for the club in a 1–0 away defeat to Napoli, in Serie A, on 18 May 1995.
