In 2015, Troise moved to China to work under Fabio Cannavaro at Guangzhou Evergrande. In 2016, he re-united with Cannavaro at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, and would work under him again when he returned to China to coach Tianjin Quanjian. There they won the second tier championship to win promotion, and finished third in the Chinese Super League the following season, qualifying for the Asian Champions League.

In 2017, Troise joined Cannavaro's staff as he returned to Guanghzou Evergrande. Under Cannavaro's management the club won a league championship, twice finished second and also won the Cup of China and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. In 2019, midway through their time at Guangzhou, Cannavaro and Troise coached the Chinese national side. In April 2024 the coaching team were appointed by Calcio Udinese initially until the end of the current season.
