Coaching career

From 1979 Vincenzo Guerini was coach in the youth area of ​​his old club Fiorentina. He held this position until 1983, before he took over the then second division FC Empoli as head coach. Empoli had been promoted from Serie C1 the year before and managed to stay sixteenth under Guerini in Serie B 1983/84 . One point separated the team from the first relegated US Palermo . The following year, Guerini landed eighth in Serie B with FC Empoli . In the summer of 1985 Empoli and coach Vincenzo Guerini went their separate ways, his successor was Gaetano Salvemini , who finally led the club to Serie A in 1986 for the first time in club history. Guerini took over for the 1985/86 season at the first division promoted SC Pisa , with whom he had to go back to the second division after the end of the season. Pisa was two counters missing from the saving shore. After that, Guerini's engagement in Pisa ended again and he became the new coach of FC Bologna for the following season . In the traditional club that disappeared in Serie B, Guerini had little success and was replaced by Giovan Battista Fabbri towards the end of the season . In the following season Vincenzo Guerini coached another second division club with US Catanzaro and missed promotion to Serie A by just one place and one point against Atalanta Bergamo . From 1988 to 1989 he was then coach of his old club Brescia Calcio, with whom he only narrowly thwarted relegation to the third division.

In the summer of 1989 Vincenzo Guerini was the new person in charge on the sidelines of the Serie B club AC Ancona . In Ancona Guerini worked subsequently for five years until 1994 and managed the club for the first time ever in their history the leap to excellence. It ended Serie B in 1991/92 in third place behind Brescia Calcio and Pescara Calcio and rose to Serie A. There, the team overtook players like Massimo Gadda , Lajos Détári or Miloš Glonek, but as the penultimate of the table of direct relegation. Vincenzo Guerini remained coach of AC Ancona and caused another surprise with the club the following year. After successes over the US Avellino , AC Venice and Torino Calcio , Guerini moved with AC Ancona into the final of the Coppa Italia 1993/94 , where they met Sampdoria Genoa . After the first leg ended goalless in the domestic Stadio del Conero , Ancona kept the 0-0 in the second leg until the break, but in the end had to admit defeat by a clear 1: 6 and missed the big hit. A little later, Vincenzo Guerini resigned as coach of AC Ancona after five years.

For Serie A 1994/95 Guerini took over the ailing SSC Napoli , but was dismissed after just six match days. Only a short time later, the third division SPAL Ferrara signed him , where he was employed until the beginning of 1996. From the 10th matchday of the second division season 1996/97 Guerini looked after Reggina Calcio and led the team in the end to tenth place in the table. From 1997 to 1998 followed a one-year commitment in Serie A at Piacenza Calcio , which he led to relegation when he was thirteenth. Between 1998 and 2000, Guerini was responsible for the sporting fortunes at Ternana Calcio and managed to stay in the Serie B twice with the club. In the same year he was briefly coach of Catania Calcio . After six months at AC Siena from 2001 to 2002, Vincenzo Guerini went abroad for the first time in 2002 to train a club there. His work in Greece with Panachaiki Patras was not crowned with success. In 2003 another brief work in Catania followed . His engagement with the US Catanzaro from 2005 to 2006 was not crowned with success either.

For the last time in the coaching bench to date, Vincenzo Guerini sat at the end of Serie A 2011/12 at Fiorentina. Previously, Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi had been sacked after he violated the player Adem Ljajić . As an interim solution, Guerini took over the coaching position in Florence and held this position for the last two match days. For the new season, Vincenzo Montella became the new coach of Fiorentina. Guerini had previously worked as a manager at Fiorentina since 2011. He still holds this office today.
