Piacenza) without being able to show his full potential.[2]

In October 1998, Verona loaned him to city rivals

Serie A in 2001, and 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA), after having been first-placed at the winter break.[2]

Corini joined

Torino, age 37.[5] He was confirmed with the Granata also for the 2008–09 season, which he stated it would be his final one as a footballer. In May 2009, Corini confirmed his retirement as a player, after he failed to recover from a recurring Achilles tendon injury that forced him to have surgery, causing him to miss the final part of the season, which saw Torino being relegated to Serie B. He also stated his intention to try his hand at coaching in the future.[6]

International career

Corini became a regular also in the Italy u21 team of the early 1990s, winning a UEFA European Under-21 Championship, and representing Italy in the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona.[7]

Despite his success for Italy at the youth level, and for various club-level teams, he was never capped for the full national team in a career spanning almost two decades. However, he did receive call-ups during the 1992–93 season, as well as in November 2002.[7]

Managerial career

After announcing his retirement, Corini was successively linked to several vacancies in Italian football. On 5 July 2010, Corini was unveiled as the new head coach of

UEFA Pro graduate Salvatore Giunta worked alongside him.[10]

Unexpectedly, Corini left the club twelve days later, together with director of football Giuseppe Magalini, due to disagreements with the board regarding the transfer market policy and the future plans for the team.[11]

On 27 November 2010, he was appointed head coach of Serie B club

Crotone, replacing Leonardo Menichini.[12] His experience with the Calabrian club turned out to be short-lived, as he was dismissed later on 20 February 2011, following a string of poor results that left Crotone in danger of relegation.[13]

From 30 November 2011 through the end of the season, he coached Frosinone in Lega Pro Prima Divisione, replacing Carlo Sabatini.[14]

On 2 October 2012, he was named the new head coach of

Chievo in place of Domenico Di Carlo, after the team suffered five consecutive defeats in the first six games of the season.[15] Corini and Chievo parted ways on 29 May 2013 by mutual consent;[16] Corini returned to Chievo four months later, being appointed on 12 November 2013 to replace Giuseppe Sannino.[17] He guided Chievo to maintain their Serie A status by the end of the season and was thus given the job on a permanent basis, but was subsequently sacked on 19 October following a 3-0 defeat to Roma that left the club with four points in seven games.[18]

On 30 November 2016, Corini was appointed manager of

Palermo.[19] He resigned on 24 January 2017.[20]

On 4 February 2018, he was fired as manager of

He returned to management on 18 September 2018, being named new head coach of

Lecce on 22 August 2020.[26] After Lecce failed to gain promotion to Serie A at the end of the 2020–21 season by losing in the promotion play-offs, he was dismissed on 22 May 2021.[27]

On 23 March 2022, Corini was announced as the new head coach of Serie B club Brescia, thus marking his return with the Rondinelle, two years after his last stint at the club.

Monza in the semi-finals; on 14 June 2022, Corini parted ways with Brescia by mutual consent.[29]

On 7 August 2022, Corini agreed to return to

Palermo as head coach, signing a two-year contract with the newly-promoted Serie B club.[30]
