Paolo Vanoli (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpaːolo vaˈnɔːli]; born 12 August 1972) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player who played as a left back or left midfielder. He is the manager of Italian Serie B club Venezia.

Club career

Vanoli, a journeyman, played for many clubs, including Hellas Verona, Parma, and Fiorentina (for 9 billion lire fee in co-ownership deal; €4.648 million[1][2]), having also two spells abroad: Scottish Premier League club Rangers from August 2003 to January 2005,[3][4] scoring once against Dundee,[5] and Akratitos FC in Greece (2005–06).[citation needed]

While at Parma Vanoli won both the UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia in 1999, and then in 2001 won the Coppa Italia again with Fiorentina, this time beating his former team Parma in the final. Vanoli scored in all three finals.[6][7][8]

International career

Vanoli was also an Italian international, playing twice and scoring once on his debut in a 3–1 defeat against Belgium in 1999.[9]

Managerial career

Between 2016 and 2017, Vanoli was the assistant manager of the Italy national football team. He was then appointed as assistant manager of Chelsea FC, serving in the role from 2017 to 2018.[citation needed]

On 17 December 2021, Vanoli joined Spartak Moscow as manager, signing a contract until the end of the 2022–23 season.[10] On 29 May 2022, Spartak won the 2021–22 Russian Cup.[11] The club announced on 9 June 2022 that Vanoli had left his post, citing a number of circumstances "beyond the club's control", in other words the Russian Invasion of Ukraine,[12][13] even though first in March he announced he will continue.[14]

On 7 November 2022, Vanoli was hired as the new head coach of Serie B struggling club Venezia, signing a contract until 30 June 2024.[15]
