Giovanni Bucaro (born 20 November 1970) is an Italian football manager, and former footballer who played as a defender.

Career

Player

Bucaro began his playing career with Sorrento. He started with the Rossoneri in their youth team and made 31 appearances for the first team between 1986 and 1988. In 1988, he joined

Modena
in 1991, for whom he made 22 appearances.

Following this solitary season at Modena, he joined

Avellino who were also then in the 3rd division
, and between 2000 and 2003, he played 46 games for the club. In his final season with the club, they promoted him to Serie B by defeating Napoli in the playoff final. It was their first time back in the second division in 11 years. This was his final year as a player, and he thus went out on a high note.

Manager

After spells as assistant manager at both

Avellino
as first team coach in August.

On 21 July 2012 Giovanni Bucaro was announced as the new manager of

Sorrento. He was presented to the press and stated that he hoped to emulate his one time manager Zeman in his new role as Sorrento coach.[3][4] The 2012-2013 season began with a goalless draw against Gubbio and caused Bucaro to immediately lament the lack of a decent striker to help Sorrento's cause.[5]
He was sacked in January 2013 due to poor results.

In July 2014, he was named head coach of the newly promoted

Savoia. He was, however, dismissed on 28 October 2014 due to poor results.[6]

In April 2016, he was named the new head coach of

Arezzo to replace Ezio Capuano for the last three remaining games of the 2015–16 Lega Pro
; his contract was not extended and he left by the end of the season.

He was successively hired as

Avellino manager for the club's 2018–19 Serie D campaign, which ended with promotion to Serie C after winning a promotion playoff to Lanusei, as well as the nationwide Serie D championship title. He left Avellino on 24 July 2019 amid uncertainty regarding the club's future.[7]

On 25 October 2019, he was hired by

Sicula Leonzio until the end of the 2019–20 season.[8] He was dismissed by Sicula Leonzio on 13 January 2020, after the club won just once in 10 games under his helm.[9]

For the 2020–21 season, he was hired by

Bisceglie.[10] Bisceglie won 2 out of the first 3 games under him. However, on 1 February 2021, he was dismissed by Bisceglie, after only winning once and gaining 9 points in the next 17 games under his helm.[11] He was called back in charge of Bisceglie just a couple months later, on 6 April, until the end of the season.[12]

On 27 February 2023, he rejoined his former coach Zdeněk Zeman as his assistant at Pescara.[13] On 21 February 2024, following Zeman's resignations due to health reasons, Bucaro was promoted new head coach of Pescara for the remainder of the season.[14] His debut on 24 February 2024 was marked by a 1-0 home win over Lucchese. He left the club on 16 March 2024, after a negative string of results during his short stay in charge of the first team.[15]
