Signed by
In January 2005, Possanzini signed for Palermo and marked his return to Serie A. Still, several injuries prevented him from being actively part of the Sicilian side; he eventually played only twice with the rosanero before being sold again during the summer market, this time to Brescia as partial compensation in the deal that brought Andrea Caracciolo to Palermo. He is currently a mainstay for the rondinelle, and scored 24 goals in his first two seasons with Brescia, both played in the Serie B.
In January 2009, Possanzini was banned for a year, along with
Coaching career
In 2013, Possanzini moved back to
On 16 June 2022, Possanzini agreed to return to Brescia as the club's Primavera youth coach.[5] On 7 January 2023, he was named new head coach in charge of the first team following the dismissal of Pep Clotet,[6] being however sacked just thirteen days later after suffering two defeats in both games in charge of the team.[7]
On 16 June 2023, Possanzini was announced as the new head coach of Serie C club Mantova.[8] Under his guidance, Mantova surprisingly topped the league table from the very beginning of the season despite the presence of other more ambitious teams in the league such as Padova and Vicenza, while playing an attacking football style reminiscent of his mentor De Zerbi that quickly won Possanzini national coverage.[9] On 7 April 2024, Mantova mathematically won promotion to Serie B.[10]
