Corrado Verdelli (born 30 September 1963) is an Italian professionalfootball coach and a former player.
Verdelli started his senior career with amateur clubOltrepò. In 1986, he was signed byInter Milan, but then sent on loan toMonza in 1987; in his season with Monza, he provided a key contribution to the club's historical promotion toSerie B, and was subsequently awarded with a place in the main Internazionale roster for the 1988–89 season. During that season, Verdelli played mostly as a backup, appearing twenty times in theGiovanni Trapattoni-led team that won theSerie A title with just two defeats. In 1990, he left Inter Milan forCremonese, where he played for seven consecutive seasons, became a mainstay and one of the most recognizable footballers of theGrigiorossi team that played in the top flight for four years. He retired in 1998 after a lone season with minor league teamFanfulla.
In 1999 Verdelli started a coaching career as head ofFanfulla until 2001. He was successively appointed youth coach ofInter Milan, winning aCampionato Nazionale Primavera and aTorneo di Viareggio. In 2003, he was named assistant toHéctor Cúper, and served ascaretaker for a spare week after the Argentine's dismissal.
In 2004 Verdelli was appointed head coach ofSerie B clubTernana, but was replaced byGiovanni Vavassori a few weeks later. He then served as head coach also atCremonese andVoghera, still with little luck. He successively worked as head coach of amateursPontisola in the 2009–2010 Serie D season, leading the club to third place. His return to professional coaching happened in the following season, as he was appointed boss of bottom-placedLega Pro Prima Divisione clubMonza in November 2010;[1] Verdelli however failed to drive the club out of the relegation zone and found himself again in last place a few weeks before the end of the season, being consequently removed from his coaching duties on 30 March 2011.[2]
