Luca D'Angelo (born 26 July 1971) is an Italian football manager and former professional footballer. He is the current head coach of Serie B club Spezia.

Club career[edit]

Coaching career[edit]

Early years[edit]

Following his retirement, he began his coaching career on 2009 with Rimini youth team. Next season he has been named first-team manager of the Serie D side Rimini.[citation needed]

In November 2013, he replaced Egidio Notaristefano as manager of the Lega Pro side Alessandria.[citation needed]

In July 2015, he signed a one-year contract for the 2015–16 season with Lega Pro side Fidelis Andria.[1] After finishing the season at 7th place, on 7 May he announced that he wouldn't renewed his contract with the club.

For the 2016–17 season, he was appointed as the new coach of Bassano Virtus.[2]

After being dismissed in 2017,[3] he was appointed as the manager of Casertana.[4]

Pisa[edit]

On 24 June 2018, he became the new manager of Pisa.[5] He obtained promotion to Serie B with the team during the 2018–19 season.[6]

Successively, he guided Pisa for three Serie B campaign, the last of which saw the Tuscan side fighting for a Serie A spot, ending the regular season in third place, just one point out of direct promotion. They ultimately made it to the promotion playoffs, where they were defeated by Monza in a two-legged final after extra time. A few days later, Pisa announced to have parted ways with D'Angelo after four seasons.[7]

On 19 September 2022, following the dismissal of his successor Rolando Maran, he was re-hired as Pisa manager.[8] On 2 June 2023, after completing the 2022–23 Serie B season in a mid-table placement and failing to qualify for the promotion playoffs, Pisa announced the dismissal of D'Angelo for a second time.[9]

On 15 November 2023, Serie B club Spezia announced to have appointed D'Angelo as their new head coach in place of Massimiliano Alvini.[10]
