Daniele Di Donato (born 21 February 1977) is an Italian football manager and a former midfielder, currently in charge of Serie C Group C club Team Altamura.

Playing career

[edit]

Di Donato, nicknamed Dido, started his professional career with Torino (then in Serie B). He is best known for having spent a total of four seasons with Palermo, being the protagonist of two promotions that led the Sicilians from Serie C1 to Serie A, and being a fan favourite during his stay with the rosanero with a total of 133 appearances. He also played a Serie A season with Siena in 2005–2006. After two seasons with Arezzo of Serie B, in 2007 he signed a contract with Ascoli.

Coaching career

[edit]

After retirement, Di Donato joined Modena as a youth coach. He successively accepted to become head coach of Serie D club Jesina for the 2017–18 season.[1]

He was then named new head coach of ArzignanoChiampo, which he guided to promotion to Serie C on his first season in charge. He left the club at the end of the 2018–19 season to become manager of Arezzo.[2] He left Arezzo at the end of the 2019–20 season.

On 30 August 2020, he was hired by Serie C club Trapani.[3] Trapani never took the field in their scheduled games and was officially excluded from Serie C on 5 October 2020.[4]

On 3 November 2020, he signed with Serie C club Vis Pesaro.[5]

On 11 August 2021, he was presented as the new manager of the newly promoted Serie C club Latina.[6] After two and a half years in charge of the first team, he was dismissed from his role on 14 January 2024.[7]

In July 2024, Di Donato was hired by newly promoted Serie C club Team Altamura.[8]
