First steps for Paolo Vanoli in the Granata world. The new coach, chosen by president Urbano Cairo as Ivan Juric’s successor, has in fact arrived in Turin for his first approach with Torino. Here are the images of Vanoli’s arrival at Philadelphia (Vagnati, Moretti and Barile present), where among other things he will also meet defender Schuurs (currently injured):
This is the statement with which Torino made the new coach Vanoli official last Friday: “The Torino Football Club is pleased to announce that from 1 July 2024 the technical leadership of the First Team will be entrusted to Paolo Vanoli. The coach has signed a two-year contract.
Paolo Vanoli was born on 12 August 1972 in Varese. Growing up as a footballer in his hometown team, he made his professional football debut with Venezia, in Serie B, in the 1993-94 season. During his career he wore, among others, the shirts of Hellas Verona, Parma – with which he won a UEFA Cup also scoring the second of the three goals with which Parma defeated Olympique Marseille in the final, an Italian Cup and an Italian Super Cup -, Fiorentina – with which he achieved his second success in the Italian Cup, also scoring a goal in the second leg final against Parma -, Bologna, Glasgow Rangers and Vicenza. For him also two appearances and a goal, against Belgium, for the national team.
As a coach he began his career in the Veronese team Domegliara, in Serie D, from 2007 to 2009. Subsequently, from 2010 to 2017 he was part of the technical staff of the FIGC where he worked with various youth selections – in 2013 as Zoratto’s deputy he achieved second place at the Under 17 European Championships, while in 2016 he led the Under 19 team to second place in Europe – and also acted as assistant to coach Gian Piero Ventura in his first year with the senior national team. He was later a technical collaborator of Antonio Conte, first at Chelsea (with the victory of the FA Cup) and then at Inter (finalist in the Europa League and then Champion of Italy in the 2020-2021 season). In 2021 he took on his first coaching job at a professional club, in Russia, at Spartak Moscow, winning the Russian Cup. In 2022 he arrived at Venezia where in two seasons he led the lagoon players from the penultimate place in Serie B up to the recent conquest of Serie A. President Urbano Cairo welcomes Paolo Vanoli with the most cordial “welcome to Turin” and with a big smile on his lips to the wolf. Good work, Always Forza Toro!”.
