[edit] Career
[edit] Playing
Orsi, a goalkeeper, made his professional debut in 1979 for Serie C2 club Siena. He made his Serie A debut with Lazio in 1982, a team where he played from 1982 to 1985, and again, as backup keeper to Valerio Fiori and then Luca Marchegiani, from 1989 until his retirement in 1998.
[edit] Coaching
Orsi became assistant coach of Roberto Mancini at Lazio in 2002. He followed Mancini at Inter Milan two years later. He left Inter in 2006 in order to pursue a career as head coach. Initially rumoured as possible Arezzo coach in 2006–2007, he was surprisingly appointed to a Serie A job on March 21, 2007 by Livorno chairman Aldo Spinelli in order to replace Daniele Arrigoni. He made his debut with a 4-1 home win to Catania on April 1,[1] leading his side to a mid-table finish in the Serie A 2006-07. However, a disappointing start in the 2007-08 campaign resulted in only two points after the first seven matchdays, convincing Spinelli to sack Orsi on October 9, making him the first coach to be fired in the season.[2] He was called back at the helm of the amaranto on April 28, 2008, after Spinelli decided to dismiss Giancarlo Camolese from the team's head coaching post,[3] but did not manage to save his club from relegation to Serie B.
