Managerial career

Materazzi started his coaching career in 1979, for Tuscan

Venezia chairman Maurizio Zamparini to replace Luciano Spalletti at the helm of that Serie A team, but was fired just 27 days later, and notably replaced by Spalletti. His last club experience came in January 2001, as Materazzi was appointed to coach Cagliari

Lecce in the Apulian derby.[2]

On 30 December 2008, Materazzi signed a contract to become the head coach of

Olympiakos Volos

In July 2009 he was unveiled as new general manager of

SE Eivissa-Ibiza, where he worked alongside new head coach Onofrio Barone, former Serie A player who also served as Materazzi's assistant in a number of clubs.[3]

In 2010, he signed with Romanian club Braşov, but resigned after just 3 days.[4]

In 2016 he briefly served as head coach of women's football team

Materazzi returned into football in 2018 with

Bisceglie, accepting an offer as the club's new technical area director,[5] a role he left only a few days later due to economical disagreements with the board.[6]
