Franco Brienza (Italian pronunciation: ['fra?ko bri'?ntsa]; born 19 March 1979) is a former Italian footballer who briefly represented Italy at international level.
A diminutive and creative playmaker, who was known for his technique as well as his striking and passing ability with his left foot, he usually played as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, known as the Trequartista position in Italy, although he was also capable of playing as a second striker, in deep-lying creative role as a central midfielder (known as the registaposition in Italy), or as a right winger, a position which allowed him to cut into the middle onto his stronger foot.
