Marco Zaffaroni (born 20 January 1969) is an Italian football manager and former player, who played predominantly as a defender.[1]
Coaching career
[edit]On 24 June 2019, he was appointed head coach of Serie C club AlbinoLeffe.[2]
Following the club's positive campaign in the 2020–21 Serie C playoffs, Zaffaroni was subsequently hired as Chievo's head coach for the 2021–22 Serie B season. However, after the club's exclusion from professional football, he left for Cosenza, the club that was admitted to fill Chievo's vacancy in the Italian second division.[3] He was fired by Cosenza on 6 December 2021 after the club gained 1 point in 6 games and dropped to 16th place.[4]
On 3 December 2022, Zaffaroni was hired as the new head coach of Serie A relegation-battling club Verona, with outgoing caretaker Salvatore Bocchetti as his assistant.[5]
Despite guiding Verona to escape relegation in the season's final game, Zaffaroni was not confirmed in charge of the club. On 23 October 2023, Zaffaroni was appointed in charge of relegation-struggling Serie B club Feralpisalò, replacing Stefano Vecchi on a contract until the end of the season.[6] Feralpisalò was relegated and Zaffaroni left the club in May 2024.[7]
On 4 November 2024, Zaffaroni was hired as the new head coach of Serie B club Südtirol, replacing Federico Valente.[8] He was dismissed just a month later, on 7 December 2024, after amassing four consecutive defeats.[9]
