In 1989, his second season saw the arrival of manager Zdeněk Zeman, whose aggressive and entertaining style of football saw Foggia enter the most significant period in its history when it eventually reached Serie A in 1991.
Zeman achieved promotion to Serie B in his first season, and Bucaro played a crucial role in defence in this promotion-winning team.
Following another successful season for Foggia, who achieved promotion to Serie A as champions, Bucaro was sold to Fiorentina.
Remaining in the lower divisions of Italian football, he joined Ascoli and stayed for three seasons playing 87 league games.
He helped Manfredonia avoid relegation, which caught the attention of Juventus, who invited him to join them as youth team coach for the 2010-2011 season.
He was presented to the press and stated that he hoped to emulate his one time manager Zeman in his new role as Sorrento coach.
[6] In April 2016, he was named the new head coach of Arezzo to replace Ezio Capuano for the last three remaining games of the 2015–16 Lega Pro; his contract was not extended and he left by the end of the season.
[13] On 21 February 2024, following Zeman's resignations for health reasons, Bucaro was promoted new head coach of Pescara for the remainder of the season.
