Alessandro Calori (born 29 August 1966)[1] is an Italian football coach and former player, last in charge as head coach of Ternana. As a defender, he is mostly remembered for his lengthy spell with Udinese during the 90s, where he also served as the club's captain.

Playing career

Calori was born in

Venezia
.

Coaching career

Following his retirement as a player, Calori initially stayed at Venezia, joining the managing staff that worked alongside head coach

Sambenedettese, a spell which proved to be unsuccessful as he was sacked in October 2006.[3][4]

On 10 March 2008, he was unveiled as new

Avellino coach, replacing Guido Carboni.[5]
He left his post in June, after having failed to save his team from relegation.

In February 2009 he was unveiled as new head coach of

Portosummaga, replacing Manuele Domenicali.[6] He guided Portosummaga to win the Lega Pro Prima Divisione title in 2009–10, and automatic promotion to Serie B for his club, in a historical first time in the Italian second division for his club. On 2 July 2010, he was unveiled as new head coach of Serie B club Padova.[7] Despite a good first half of season, Calori was dismissed by Padova on 15 March 2011 following a string of negative results.[8]

On 12 December 2011, he was named new head coach of Serie B side Brescia, as a replacement for Giuseppe Scienza.[9]

He served as head coach of

Trapani Calcio from 2016 to 2018, witnessing a relegation to Serie C
and a failed promotion campaign the following season.

On 20 January 2019, Calori was appointed as the manager of Ternana.[10] After less than one month, on 14 February, Calori was fired after he only managed to pick op two points in five league games.[11]

Style of play

While not being particularly elegant or skilful defender, Calori was a powerful and physically strong centre back, who was known for his tenacity and his hard-tackling playing style, as well as his leadership.[2]
