Ferran Corominas Telechea (born 5 January 1983), known as Coro, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Contents

He spent the majority of his professional career with Espanyol, appearing in 200 competitive games while scoring 24 goals and winning the 2006 Copa del Rey with the club. [2] In 2017 he signed with Goa in the Indian Super League, winning several team and individual accolades and also being at one point the competition's all-time top-scorer. [3]

Coro won the 2002 European Under-19 Championship with Spain.

Club career

Espanyol

Born in Vilobí d'Onyar, Girona, Catalonia, Coro was a product of Espanyol's youth system. He made his first-team debut on 2 November 2003 in a 2–0 home loss to Real Zaragoza, [4] but spent his first professional seasons with the reserve side in the Segunda División B.

In the last matchday of 2005–06, on 13 May 2006, Coro scored a last-minute goal against Real Sociedad, with that 1–0 win saving Espanyol's La Liga status and Alavés being relegated instead. [5] He added another in the final of the Copa del Rey, in a 4–1 defeat of Zaragoza. [6]

Coro finished 2006–07 with four league goals in 30 games, adding five in 11 matches in the team's runner-up run in the UEFA Cup, including one apiece in both legs of the semi-final clash against Werder Bremen. [7] [8] In the following three years he totalled 75 league appearances with six goals, alternating between the substitutes bench and the starting XI. [9] [10]

Girona and Elche

In mid-January 2011, completely ostracised by manager – and former teammate at Espanyol – Mauricio Pochettino, Coro signed with fellow top-division club Osasuna on loan until the end of the campaign. [11] He spent the following seasons competing in the Segunda División, appearing and scoring regularly for Girona [12] and Elche; [13] he helped the latter return to the top flight in his first year, after an absence of 24 years. [14]

Goa

On 18 July 2017, 34-year-old Coro signed for Indian Super League franchise Goa after a brief stint in the Cypriot First Division with Doxa Katokopias. [15] He scored his first goal for the club on 19 November, finding the net in the 25th minute of a 3–2 away victory over Chennaiyin. [16] Two hat-tricks followed on 30 November and 9 December, helping the hosts defeat Bengalaru (4–3) [17] and Kerala Blasters (5–2), [18] and he eventually won the Golden Boot with 18 goals. [19]

On 30 April 2018, Coro renewed his contract by one year. [20] He continued his good form the following season by scoring a league-best 16 goals, also being awarded the Golden Ball and helping his team reach the finals. [21]

On 25 May 2019, Coro agreed to another extension at the Fatorda Stadium. [22]

Later career

Coro joined Atlético Baleares on 29 September 2020. [23] The following June, he left. [24]
