Managerial career
Cocca took his first step into management by taking over at Comisión de Actividades Infantiles in the Argentine second division.[2] On 29 October 2008, he took over managerial duties at first division team Godoy Cruz, after then-coach Daniel Oldrá stepped down to return to the club's youth divisions. On 3 November 2009, Cocca left Godoy Cruz.[3]
On 23 December 2009, Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata hired Cocca as its coach on a one-year deal.[4] The former defender helped Gimnasia avoid relegation from the first division during the 2009–10 season, after defeating Atlético de Rafaela in the relegation playoff. However, Cocca resigned from his managerial duties after the 8th fixture of the 2010–11 season, due to the team's bad results during the start of the season.[5]
Cocca on 21 February 2011 was named manager of Mexican side Santos Laguna after coach Ruben Omar Romano was fired for supposely making an insulting gesture to Santos fans after a defeat against Querétaro F.C..
On 4 September 2011, Cocca was sacked from his job as Santos Laguna manager after a series of defeats.[6]
