Ferran Corominas Telechea (born 5 January 1983), commonly known as Coro, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward for Indian club FC Goa.

He spent the majority of his professional career with Espanyol, appearing in 200 competitive games and scoring 24 goals. With the club, he won the 2006 Copa del Rey.

Club career

Born in Vilobí d'Onyar, Girona, Catalonia, Coro was a product of RCD Espanyol's youth system. He made his first-team debut on 2 November 2003 in a 0–2 home loss to Real Zaragoza,[1] but spent his first professional seasons with the reserve side in 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 Deportivo Alavés being relegated instead.[2] He added another in the final of the Copa del Rey, in a 4–1 defeat of Zaragoza.[3]

Coro finished 2006–07 with four league goals in 30 games, adding five in 11 contests in the team's runner-up run in the UEFA Cup, including one apiece in both legs of the semi-final clash against SV Werder Bremen.[4][5] In the following three years combined, he amassed 75 league appearances with six goals, alternating the substitutes bench with the starting XI.[6][7]

In mid-January 2011, completely ostracized by manager – and former teammate at Espanyol – Mauricio Pochettino, Coro signed with fellow league club CA Osasuna on loan until the end of the campaign.[8] He spent the following seasons competing in Segunda División, appearing and scoring regularly for Girona FC[9] and Elche CF;[10] he helped the latter return to the top flight in his first year, after an absence of 24 years.

On 18 July 2017, 34-year-old Coro signed for Indian Super League franchise FC Goa after a brief stint in the Cypriot First Division with Doxa Katokopias FC.[11] 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 FC;[12] two hat-tricks followed on 30 November and 9 December, helping the hosts defeat Bengaluru FC (4–3)[13] and Kerala Blasters FC (5–2),[14] and he eventually won the Golden Boot with 18 goals.[15]

On 30 April 2018, Coro extended his contract by one year.[16]
