Trinchieri was the assistant head coach with the Italian League club Olimpia Milano from 1998 to 2004. He then became the head coach of the Italian club Vanoli Basket from 2004 to 2007, and helped Vanoli get promoted from the Italian Third Division to the Italian Second Division. After that, he was the head coach of the Italian club Juvecaserta Basket, which was also in the Italian Second Division at that time.

His next head coaching job was also in the Italian Second Division, with Veroli Basket, during the 2008–09 season. With Veroli Basket, he won the Italian Second Division Cup title, and he was named the Italian Second Division's Coach of the Year in 2009.[1]

After that, he became the head coach of the Italian team Cantù.[2] As the head coach of Cantù, he was named the Italian League Coach of the Year in both 2010 and 2011. He also won the Italian Supercup with Cantù, in the 2012–13 season. In 2013, he became the head coach of the Russian VTB United League club UNICS Kazan.[3] With UNICS, he was the EuroCup's Coach of the Year in the 2013–14 season.

In July 2014, it was announced that Trinchieri would be the new head coach of the German club Brose Bamberg.[4] On October 4, 2015, he extended his contract with the club, until the end of the 2016–17 season.[5] With Brose, he won the German national league championship, the Basketball Bundesliga, in the 2014–15, 2015–16, and 2016–17 seasons. On February 19, 2018, Trinchieri was released from his head coaching position with Brose, after the team lost 12 of their last 15 games.[6]

On November 1, 2018, Trinchieri was named head coach of the Serbian club Partizan, signing a three-year deal.[7][8] On July 2, 2020, Trinchieri parted ways with Partizan,[9] with whom he won the 2018–19 and 2019–20 Radivoj Korać Cups, and 2019 ABA League Supercup.

On July 15, 2020, Trinchieri was appointed as the head coach of the German EuroLeague club Bayern Munich.[10] On June 22, 2021, he extended his contract until 2023.[11] The club parted ways with Trinchieri after his contract ended.[12]

On December 30, 2023, the Italian coach was named head coach of the Lithuanian club Žalgiris Kaunas, signing until 2025.[13][14] He replaced Kazys Maksvytis, who left the club after an unsuccessful first half of the season.
