Fabio Coltorti (born 3 December 1980) is a Swiss footballer who plays for FC Lausanne-Sport as a goalkeeper.

Club career

During his career in his country, Kriens-born Coltorti played with hometown SC Kriens, FC Schaffhausen, FC Thun and Grasshopper Club Zürich, being first-choice for the latter three.

On 31 August 2007, he penned a four-year contract with Spanish side Racing de Santander, for €1 million. During his first season with the Cantabrians, he was mainly restricted to Copa del Rey matches, which also happened in the following; his La Liga debut came on 22 December 2007, in a 1–4 away loss against Sevilla FC.

From mid-December 2009 to February 2010, Coltorti had his longest league run in Racing's goal, benefitting from starter Toño's injury: in the first eight matches, the club only lost once, at Villarreal CF (2–0), only conceding seven goals. He would finish the season with 23 league appearances, with Racing barely avoiding relegation after finishing in 16th position.

Toño returned to full fitness for 2010–11, playing in 37 of 38 league games. In mid-June 2011, Coltorti returned to his country and signed a one-year contract with FC Lausanne-Sport.

International career

Coltorti was called-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, despite having only one cap for the Swiss national team, a 1 March home friendly with Scotland.

He also appeared twice for the U-21 team.
