Francesco Magnanelli (born 12 November 1984) is an Italian football coach and former player.
[4][8] After retirement, Magnanelli stayed at Sassuolo as part of Alessio Dionisi's first team coaching staff.
He left Sassuolo in the summer of 2023 to rejoin Massimiliano Allegri, a former manager of his, as his technical collaborator at Juventus.
Since then, he has been hailed as a key appointment for the Bianconeri due to his fresh tactical ideas that were deemed as reminiscent of the playing style of Roberto De Zerbi, another former coach of his at Sassuolo,[9] and for having pushed towards different and more modern playing strategies involving key players such as Federico Chiesa and Dušan Vlahović.
