Elio Gustinetti (born 29 March 1955 in Bergamo[1]) is an Italian football manager.

Coaching career

From Leffe to AlbinoLeffe

Leffe and Albinese

Gustinetti started his coaching career in 1988 with

Serie C1
.

Lecco

In 1995, he moved to

Serie C2's Lecco
, where he stayed for two seasons, ended in sixth and second place respectively, and winning promotion to Serie C1 in the latter season.

Lumezzane

In 1997, he signed for

Lumezzane
, winning a spot in the Serie C1 promotion playoffs but failing to win it.

Reggina, Empoli and Treviso

Since 1998 to 2001 he has coached in

Treviso
, seasons all ended with a dismissal.

AlbinoLeffe

In 2001, he was appointed by Serie C1 minnows

Pisa
on playoffs. He served as AlbinoLeffe boss in their two first Serie B campaign, escaping relegation in both cases.

Arezzo and Crotone

He joined newly promoted Serie B club

Crotone
, during which he was sacked in the half-season.

The return to AlbinoLeffe

He returned to AlbinoLeffe in 2007, replacing

Rimini which mathematically excluded AlbinoLeffe from a direct promotion spot, with only one game remaining in the regular season, depriving him of the chance to attend the promotion playoffs. He was replaced by youth team coach and former team player Armando Madonna.[2]

Grosseto

In June 2008 he was announced as new head coach of Serie B team

2008–09 season.[3] After a very impressive start that led the Tuscans in the higher table spots, results declined throughout mid-season, with Gustinetti being dismissed on 15 February 2009.[4] He was replaced by Ezio Rossi; however, on 25 March Gustinetti was recalled at the helm of the biancorossi after Rossi himself was dismissed due to his failure in improving results.[5]

In the 2009–10 he guided Grosseto again into good results, heading his club to the promotion playoff zone once again. However, another small decline in performances, together with a strained relationship with club chairman Piero Camilli, costed him another sacking in March 2010.[6]

Ascoli

On 31 May 2010 it was confirmed he would serve as head coach of

Ascoli in the 2010–11 Serie B season.[7] His stint with the bianconeri club from Marche however lasted a mere few months, as Gustinetti was removed from his head coaching post on the 3rd of November due to poor results, with Ascoli being last-placed in the league.[8]

Spezia

In the season 2011-12 he is the head coach of

Lega Pro Prima Divisione group A until 4 October 2011 when he was sacked[9] and replaced by Michele Serena.[10]

Lecce

On 14 May 2013, Gustinetti was appointed at the helm of

Carpi
.
