Early life
[edit]Edoardo Bove was born in Rome. Bove's paternal family is originally from Naples, while his mother is German-Italian.[4] Bove grew up in the quartiere of Appio-Latino, and studied at the Massimo Institute in Rome's neighborhood EUR.[5][6] Subsequently, he continued his studies at Luiss 'Guido Carli', in Rome, enrolling in a degree course in Economics and Management.[7] In an interview, Bove stated that he was inspired by Roma's former captain Daniele De Rossi.[5][8]
Club career
[edit]Roma
[edit]Bove started playing football in the Roman club of Boreale Donorione until 2012, when he joined Roma after following a successful trial under the supervision of Bruno Conti.[5] On 20 November 2020, Bove extended his contract with Roma until 2024.[9]
Bove was first called up by the first team on 3 December for a Europa League match against Young Boys without making his debut.[10] Bove made his professional debut for Roma on the 9 May 2021, replacing Ebrima Darboe in the second half of a 5–0 Serie A win against Crotone at the Stadio Olimpico.[11] In the 2021–22 season, Bove was often called up by Roma's coach José Mourinho.[12] He made his first Conference League match on 9 December as a starter in a 3–2 win against CSKA Sofia.[13]
On 29 December, Roma announced that his contract would be extended until 2025.[14] On 19 February 2022, Bove scored his first senior goal allowing Roma to draw 2–2 against Verona.[15]
On 15 December 2023, Bove extended his contract with Roma until 2028.[16]
Loan to Fiorentina
[edit]On 30 August 2024, he joined fellow Serie A club Fiorentina on a season-long loan, with an option to make the move permanent.[17] On 27 October 2024, Bove scored his first goal for Fiorentina against his parent club Roma in a 5-1 home victory.[18]
Style of play
[edit]Bove is a mezzala or trequartista good at offensive insertions and tactically disciplined, he also has a good technique and an eye for the goal.[5][8]
During his second season at Roma, José Mourinho labeled Bove a "sick dog", due to his intensity and aggressiveness on the pitch, a nickname that quickly became popular among fans.[19][20]
