Coaching

In 1989 Braglia accepted his first managerial job, at the helm of amateur

Serie C2 title with Montevarchi
in 1995.

In 1999, he accepted his first coaching job outside of Tuscany, becoming head coach of

Lucchese
, another Tuscan Serie C1 team with aims of promotions. However, despite this, Lucchese ended only in eighth place and failed to qualify to the promotion playoffs.

In June 2008 Braglia was unveiled as head coach of Serie B team Frosinone, replacing Alberto Cavasin.

In June 2009 Piero Braglia went to

Juve Stabia,[1] which he led to a surprise promotion to Serie B via the playoffs. He was then confirmed as Juve Stabia boss for the 2011–12 second division campaign, where he guided his small club to an impressive first season half and a good ninth place by the end of the season. Another safe season followed, with Juve Stabia keeping its Serie B status for one more year. These fortunes did not repeat in the 2013–14 season, as Juve Stabia immediately appeared unable to escape relegation and Braglia was fired in November 2013 to be replaced with Fulvio Pea; after Pea's failure to improve results, Braglia was however called back at Juve Stabia, but could not do anything to avoid Lega Pro
relegation to his club.

In July 2014, Braglia agreed a comeback at the helm of

Pisa
, seven years after he guided them to what was the last Serie B promotion to date for the Nerazzurri of Tuscany.

On 12 October 2015 he became the head coach of

Lecce
. He led the club to the third place and thus entered the play-off round, where Lecce lost in the semifinal.

On 15 June 2016 he was appointed new manager of

Cremonese
at the top of Group A Lega Pro, after a long domination of the piedmont team.

On 27 September 2017 he was hired as the head coach of

Robur Siena, with a score of 3–1 at the Stadio Adriatico in Pescara. Thus, Cosenza returns to Serie B
after 15 years.

On his first season in charge at the club in Serie B, he comfortably succeeded in keeping Cosenza into the safer spots of the league table, ending in tenth place, just four points shy of a promotion playoff spot. However, the 2019–20 Serie B campaign did not prove to be as successful, and Braglia was sacked on 10 February 2020 following a 0–1 home loss to Benevento which left Cosenza in deep relegation zone (18th place).[3]

In July 2020 he was appointed at the helm of Serie C club

Avellino.[4] Braglia served in charge of the Biancoverdi until 16 February 2022, when he was dismissed, together with director of football Salvatore Di Somma, following a 0–1 defeat to Virtus Francavilla.[5]

On 17 June 2022, Braglia was announced as the new head coach of Serie C club
