François Ciccolini (born 3 June 1962)[citation needed] is a French football manager and former player who last coached Adanaspor in Turkey.
Born in Cozzano, Corsica, Ciccolini spent most of his playing career as a forward on the island, with SC Bastia and Gazélec Ajaccio.
[6] He served as assistant to Ghislain Printant before taking the job outright in January 2016, with the team three points outside the relegation zone.
Early on in his tenure in August 2018, he made a threat of physical violence towards a Radio France journalist, and earned a five-month ban with the last two suspended.
He was dismissed after his debut, a 2–1 loss to CR Belouizdad in the Super Cup, for "disrespecting government officials" by refusing to take a runners-up medal from prime minister Abdelaziz Djerad.
