Carlo Cudicini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkarlo kudiˈtʃini]; born 6 September 1973) is an Italian goalkeeper who plays for Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy. He is the son of the former AC Milan goalkeeper Fabio Cudicini, and the grandson of Circolo Sportivo Ponziana 1912 defender Guglielmo Cudicini.
Cudicini started his professional career at Serie A side AC Milan in 1992, but struggled to break into the first team, and spent the 1993–1994 season on loan to Como, making six league appearances for the club. He switched permanently to Prato in 1995, and made 30 league appearances for the club, before moving again to Lazio in 1996. Having only made a single league appearance for Lazio, he moved again in 1997, this time to Castel di Sangro. He made fourteen league appearances in a three year spell at the club, before being loaned to English Premier League side Chelsea for the 1999–2000 season. He signed permanently for the English club in 2000, and quickly dislodged Ed de Goey from the number one spot, being voted Chelsea's Player of the Year for the 2001–02 season, and the ITV Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season for the 2002–2003 season. However, he struggled with injury for the following season, and Petr Cech was signed in 2004; Cech would displace Cudicini as the number one goalkeeper, with Cudicini only appearing sporadically afterwards. In 2006, both Cech and Cudicini suffered head injuries in a game against Reading; as Cudicini recovered sooner, and third-choice goalkeeper Henrique Hilário's form dipped, he briefly took over the starting role, until Cech returned towards the end of January 2007. Cudicini left Chelsea in 2009, having made 141 league appearances for the club, and joined local rivals Tottenham Hotspur. At Tottenham, he remained second-choice or third-choice throughout his spell, and only made 19 league appearances for the club; first Heurelho Gomes, then Brad Friedel and Hugo Lloris kept him out of the team. He left the club in 2012, having made 19 league appearances. In 2013, Cudicini signed for current club Los Angeles Galaxy.
Cudicini played 20 times for the Italian under-18 squad between 1990 and 1992, and made a single appearance for the under-21 squad during the 1992–1993 season; however, he never played for the full national squad. In 2003, during his successful period at Chelsea, the English FA attempted to select him for the English national team, but he was ineligible to do so.
