The Bergamo native's coaching career began in 2001 with the Lecco, but it is at Livorno who finally exploded: with the Tuscans he achieved a historic salvation and a ninth place that projected him straight towards the most prestigious bench in Italy. In 2006, in fact, he inherited the World Champion National Team, leading them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2008, where the Azzurri surrendered only on penalties against eventual European champions Spain.
Since then, Donadoni has gained significant experience with Napoli, Parma, and Bologna, consistently demonstrating a pragmatic, intense style of football, rooted in organization and hard work. Now comes the new challenge: bringing Spezia back to the forefront of Italian football. A return that feels like a rebirth for a coach who has never stopped believing in his style of play. Spezia, struggling at the bottom of the table, is counting on his experience and charisma to regain their identity and confidence.

It's interesting that Donadoni is returning to Italy to coach, but I don't know if he's the right choice for Spezia. He has experience, but he also faces difficult challenges. Let's hope he can do well and help them.
