Davide Nicola (born March 5, 1973 in Luserna San Giovanni , Italy ) is a former Italian football player and current coach .
As a player, including for the Genoa , Ternana Calcio and AC Siena active, he began his coaching career at AC Lumezzane and then supervised the AS Livorno he for promotion to the Serie A lead. From summer 2016 to December 2017 Nicola was the coach of FC Crotone .
Player career
Davide Nicola started his football career at CFC Genoa , where he had previously worked in the youth department. He made his debut for Genoa in the 1992/93 season under coach Luigi Maifredi . But a little later, Nicola, who was at home in the position of a defender, was loaned to another club for the first time. So he spent the 1993/94 season with Fidelis Andria in Serie B , where Nicola was used in 26 league games and contributed to reaching ninth place in the table, andrias best placement in Serie B to this day. A return to CFC Genoa was then only for a short time, with Ancona Calcio another loan deal was agreed for the 1994/95 season. Ancona finished sixth in Serie B and Davide Nicola appeared in 27 games before returning to Genoa and staying with CFC until 1998. Nicola developed into a regular player in the multiple Italian champions who have now slipped permanently into Serie B. The rise did not want to succeed again until 2002. In the meantime, Davide Nicola not only completed 166 league games with four goals for CFC Genoa, but also won the English-Italian Cup against Port Vale with the then second division team in 1995/96 . For the 1998/99 season he was loaned to Pescara Calcio and missed promotion to Serie A by just one point .
In 2002 Davide Nicola left CFC Genoa and moved to Ternana Calcio for two years , where placements in the upper midfield of Serie B were achieved, in the 2003/04 season they failed by only four points to return to the top class. In 2004/05 Nicola played for a short time at AC Siena in Serie A, where he did not make the breakthrough and he was not a regular. Siena was fourteenth in Serie A and Davide Nicola joined the second division of Turin FC for the following season . With Torino , the defender was third in the table in Serie B 2005/06 after winning playoff games against AC Cesena and AC Mantova, advancing to the top Italian division, but then turned his back on the club to move up to the second division for a year Specia Calcio to switch. Here the relegation only succeeded after they had prevailed in playout games against the former champions Hellas Verona . Nicola spent the following season at Ravenna Calcio , with whom he was relegated from Serie B. He then played for two years with AC Lumezzane in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione before ending his football career in 2010 at the age of 37.
Coaching career
In Lumezzane , Davide Nicola began his coaching career in the same year and moved straight from the field to the bench. For two years Nicola managed the fortunes of AC Lumezzane and achieved good placements with the small club in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione, qualifying for the playoff games for promotion to the second division were missed by only a few points in both seasons. Nicolas's successes with Lumezzane did not go unnoticed by higher-class clubs and so the young coach was signed by AS Livorno in the summer of 2012 to succeed Attilio Perotti , under whose aegis the club was in acute need of relegation and only lost one point saved against FC Empoli before the playout games against Vicenza Calcio .
It was completely different for AS Livorno in Serie B 2012/13 . They convinced with good offensive football, had the second best offensive behind champions US Sassuolo Calcio , and after the end of all game days they finished third in the table behind Sassuolo and Hellas Verona, which entitled them to participate in the playoff games for promotion. In the semifinals there was only one success against Brescia Calcio , whereby only the better placement in the correct table was the decisive factor for advancement, as it was a draw after two legs. A few days later, Livorno met FC Empoli in the final of the playoffs, where they prevailed 1-1 and 1-0 and thus celebrated their return to Serie A after four years. There things went less well for Livorno under Nicola and the club separated from its trainer after nineteen matchdays. After there was no improvement under his successors Attilio Perotti and Domenico Di Carlo , Davide Nicola looked after AS Livorno in the last days of the season, but could not prevent the direct relegation. At the new season he was replaced in office by Carmine Gautieri .
In November 2014, FC Bari 1908 fired its coach Devis Mangia and installed Davide Nicola, who had been unemployed for three months , as his successor. Although Nicola worked very successfully at FC Bari in 1908, he was released from his duties in early January 2016. Successor was previously at AC Perugia Calcio active Andrea Camplone .
In the summer of 2016, Davide Nicola took over the Serie A promoted FC Crotone, succeeding Ivan Jurić .
On December 6, 2017, Nicola and his coaching staff announced his retirement from FC Crotone. He was head coach of Udinese Calcio from November 2018 to March 20, 2019 .
In December 2019 he took over the head coach of CFC Genoa. After finishing 17th in the league and remaining in Serie A, he was released from his position at the end of August 2020 and replaced by Rolando Maran .
