Elisabetta "Betty" Bavagnoli (born 3 September 1963) is an Italian football coach and former defender or midfielder.
[1] She moved to Torres, then continued her partnership with Morace at Aircargo Agliana,[2] Günther Verona and back at Modena.
[4] Immediately after retirement, Bavagnoli joined the coaching staff of Carolina Morace, who had got a job as manager of men's third division club Viterbese.
[12] Defeat in the second league match of the 1999–00 season caused the team's unstable owner Luciano Gaucci to say he would replace Morace's staff.
[13] In July 2000, Morace began coaching the Italian women's national team, with Bavagnoli as her assistant.
On 10 December 2012, Bavagnoli began attending Coverciano to study for her UEFA Pro Licence—the highest coaching qualification available.
Bavagnoli sends her teams out in a traditional 4–4–2, but will sometimes depart from her favoured formation depending on the players at her disposal.
