Andrea Milani (born December 9, 1980) is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender and current assistant manager of US Catanzaro 1929. He made 235 appearances in Serie B.

Coaching career

On 13 April 2016, Milani announced his retirement. He was then hired as a technical coach for U.S. Latina Calcio under manager Vincenzo Vivarini. He left alongside Vivarini in June 2017 and then became his assistant at Empoli F.C. less than a month later. In the summer 2018, he followed Vivarini to Ascoli and became his technical coach once again. Vivarini and his team left Ascoli in the summer 2019 and in September 2019, they were hired at S.S.C. Bari, once again with Milani as his assistant coach. In November 2020 he once again took an assistant manager position under Vivarini, signing with Virtus Entella. During the following season, Vivarini and Milani replaced Antonio Calabro and his team at US Catanzaro in Serie C. Catanzaro would narrowly miss out on promotion losing in the playoff series. In 2022–23 however, Catanzaro topped Group C and earned direct promotion into Serie B.
