[edit] Club career
Corini started his career in the Brescia youth squad, but he soon joined the first team, being called to be part it of when just 16 years old, making his debut the following season. He became a regular for the Lombardian team in both 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons, before being noted and signed by Juventus.
In his first season with Juventus, just 20 years old, Corini played 25 times and scored one goal.
In 1992–93, Corini was sold to Sampdoria, where he had 24 appearances, and several injury problems. In the next few years, Corini moved from team to team almost every season (Brescia again, Piacenza and Verona) without however being able to show his full potential.
In October 1998, Verona loaned him to city rivals Chievo Verona, in Serie B. Corini soon became a mainstay of the team, being named captain and leading his team to an extraordinary promotion to Serie A in 2001 and a UEFA Cup qualification the following season, after having been first-placed at the winter break.
Corini joined Palermo in 2003, helping the Sicilian team win the 2003–04 Serie B league, followed by a UEFA Cup qualification the following season. In June 2007, he announced he was not going to renew his contract with Palermo, and a few days later he was signed by Torino, aged 37.[1] He was confirmed with the granata also for the 2008–09 season, which he stated it would be his final one as a footballer. On May 2009 Corini confirmed his retirement as a player, after he failed to recover from a recurrent Achilles tendon injury which forced him to undertake surgical operation, thus missing the final part of the season which saw Torino being relegated to Serie B. He also stated his intention to try himself as a head coach in the next future.[2]
[edit] International career
Corini became a regular also in the Under-21 national team squad of the early 1990s, winning a Youth European Championship and representing Italy in the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona.
Despite his success for Italy at the youth levels and at club level, he has never been capped for the full national team in a career spanning almost two decades. However, he did receive call-ups during 1992–93, and more recently on November 2002.
[edit] Coaching career
After announcing his retirement, Corini confirmed his interest in becoming a coach, being successively linked on a number of vacancies in the Italian football panorama. On July 5, 2010 Eugenio Corini was then unveiled as new head coach of Portosummaga, a newly-promoted 2010–11 Serie B club;[3][4] he agreed to become the club's new head coach despite not having the required coaching badges (he had only UEFA A qualifications at the time of the appointment), so it was agreed that UEFA Pro graduate Salvatore Giunta would have worked alongside him.[5]
However, Corini unexpectedly left the club only twelve days later, together with director of football Giuseppe Magalini, due to disagreements with the board regarding the transfer market policy and the future plans for the team.[6]
On 27 November 2010 he was appointed head coach of Serie B club Crotone, replacing Leonardo Menichini.[7] His experience with the Calabrian club however turned out to be short-lived, as he was dismissed later on 20 February 2011 following a string of negative results that left Crotone in danger of relegation.[8]
Since 30 November 2011 he is a new coach of Frosinone in Lega Pro Prima Divisione in place of the resigned Carlo Sabatini.[9]
