Renzo Ulivieri (born 2 February 1941) is an Italianfootball manager. He is the current chairman of theAssociazione Italiana Allenatori Calcio (Italian Football Managers' Association).
After a very short playing career as amidfielder for theFiorentina youth team andSerie C teamCuoiopelli, Ulivieri became coach for Cuoiopelli in 1966, after the team were relegated toSerie D. He then coached several other amateur teams in Tuscany, such asSan Miniato,Fucecchio, and thePrato youth squad.
In 1972, he joined Serie C sideEmpoli, where he served as head coach for three seasons. He then spent two years as Fiorentina youth coach before Ulivieri signing forTernana ofSerie B in 1978. He made hisSerie A debut in 1980 forPerugia. Since then, Ulivieri served as head coach for numerous clubs all around the country. His best results were a double consecutive promotion from Serie C1 to Serie A with Bologna, aTorneo di Viareggio with Fiorentina in 1978, and a promotion to Serie A withSampdoria in 1981–82. In 1986 he was involved in the1986 Totonero scandal and sentenced with a three-year ban, which was also confirmed on appeal. He returned to coach Bologna in 2005, but was fired soon after following a series of poor results. He was however recalled in March 2006, after his replacementAndrea Mandorlini did not manage to improve the team's results. Ulivieri also coached Bologna during the 2006–07 season, but was fired on 14 April 2007 after a 3–0 away loss toGenoa, and following weeks of disputes with club chairmanAlfredo Cazzola.
In November 2007, he was appointed at the helm of relegation-battling Serie A sideReggina to replaceMassimo Ficcadenti.[1] On 3 March 2008, Ulivieri was sacked by Reggina after a string of results where they picked up only four points from seven league games.[2]
Ulivieri is also well known for his left-wing political stance (he is a formerDemocrats of the Left andItalian Communist Party member). In a 2013 interview with the Italian edition ofVanity Fair, he discussed his left-wing political views, and also spoke out against homophobia in football.[3]
