In 2004, Vavassori was appointed head coach of Serie B team Ternana, but resigned two weeks later, citing a falling-out with his players.[4]
In 2005, Vavassori was signed by
regular season
in second place, Genoa then won the promotion playoffs under Vavassori and achieved promotion to Serie B.
On 18 April 2007, Vavassori was appointed at the helm of
AlbinoLeffe, Vavassori was dismissed from his role as Cesena's manager.[9]
In May 2010, he was appointed at the helm of
Pescara in the finals, and he was therefore not confirmed in charge of Verona.[1]
