Daniele Arrigoni (born 28 August 1959) is an Italianfootball manager and former player, who played as adefender.
Arrigoni was born inCesena. Adefender, made fifteenSerie A appearances in his first professional playing season withCesena, and mostly played atSerie B andSerie C levels for several different teams, before retiring in 1993.
Arrigoni's debut as coach came in 1994 for a smallEmilia-RomagnaSerie D team,Castel San Pietro and he won with this team the Italian Serie D Championship. He then coachedVis Pesaro, where he obtained the first promotion in his coaching career (in 1999–2000, from Serie C2 to Serie C1 after playoffs), and after another impressive season he was called to coach newly promotedSerie B teamMessina. During that season, he was fired, but then recalled, and hardly managed to save his team from relegation.
In 2002–03,Palermo hired him to replaceEzio Glerean just at the first matchday, but he was sacked as well at the twentieth. Arrigoni went on to become manager of Serie C2 club Frosinone in 2003–04, leading them to win the league.
In 2004–05, Arrigoni was surprisingly called to coach aSerie A team,Cagliari Calcio. Also thanks to outstanding players such asAntonio Langella,Gianfranco Zola,Mauro Esposito andDavid Suazo, Arrigoni went on leading his team to a very good season that ended in 12th place. Arrigoni, who had left Cagliari at the end of the season in order to joinTorino, then cancelled by thefederation because of financial troubles, was recalled to Cagliari in 2005–06, but resigned soon after following heavy protests from its supporters. In 2006–07, he coachedLivorno, with the additional opportunity to make his debut in a European competition,UEFA Cup in the case.
On 14 January 2007, Livorno chairmanAldo Spinelli declared his willingness to sack Arrigoni after his side lost 5–1 away toAtalanta B.C. However, after the players called for his return, with captainCristiano Lucarelli declaring "The team is united against the club", Arrigoni was reinstated two days later. However, his dismissal was only delayed, as he was finally sacked on 21 March and replaced byFernando Orsi. In June 2007 he was unveiled asBologna's boss with the goal to lead therossoblu back to Serie A and in May 2008 achieved automatic promotion back to the top flight after finishing second in Serie B. Despite an impressive win atSan Siro againstAC Milan in the first league week, Arrigoni made a disappointing start in his season back in the top flight, and was ultimately sacked on 3 November 2008 following a crush 5–1 loss against relegation-battling rivals Cagliari.[1]
In February 2010 he was unveiled as new head coach of Serie B strugglersTriestina, replacingMario Somma.[2] Under his tenure, Triestina did not improve its results and were ultimately relegated toLega Pro Prima Divisione after losing a two-legged playoff toPadova.
On 26 June 2010, Arrigoni was named as the new coach ofSassuolo, replacing outgoing managerStefano Pioli who was appointed at Serie A clubChievo.[3][4] He was dismissed later on 3 October after losing four of the initial seven league games despite the club's top flight ambitions, and was replaced byAngelo Gregucci.[5]
On 1 November 2011, Arrigoni was appointed as a new head coach ofCesena. On 20 February 2012, he left by mutual consent after a fourth defeat in five league matches left Cesena languishing at the bottom in the table.[6]
