Patrizia Panico (Italian pronunciation: [paˈtrittsja paˈniko]; born 8 February 1975) was an Italian footballer, and now manager of Italy U16. A prolific goalscorer, Panico is a longstanding member of the Italy women's national football team; she has won over 185 caps for Italy, and has also served as her national side's captain. She is a veteran of Italy's 1997, 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013 UEFA Women's Championship campaigns and played at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. In a club career that spanned more than two decades, Panico has won ten Scudetti and collected five Coppa Italia winner's medals with her various clubs. She has been Serie A's top scorer on 14 occasions (an Italian record for her category) and spent part of 2010 in America, representing Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) club Sky Blue FC. Panico is nicknamed "The Scorpion" due to her deadly goalscoring instincts.
In addition to Torres, Panico has played for SS Lazio, Torino CF, Modena Amadio, ACF Milan and ASD Bardolino, as well as Sky Blue FC of the United States' Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). She has been the Serie A's top scorer for ten seasons.
