Ivo Pulga (born 20 June 1964) is an Italian association football coach and former player, who played as a midfielder.
Pulga left Parma in 1993 to sign for Serie B club Vicenza, and then returned to Carpi one year later, ending his playing career after five more seasons there.
An UEFA Pro licensed coach, Pulga was named to replace Massimo Ficcadenti as new coach of Serie A club Cagliari, alongside newly appointed assistant Diego López, on 2 October 2012 in a somewhat surprise move due to his lack of managerial experience.
[2] He swapped roles with López in July 2013, after the latter was allowed to serve as head coach after being admitted at the yearly UEFA Pro License course.
[4] He returned into management on 29 April 2018, as the new head coach of Brescia in the Serie B league, a team that was acquired by Cellino (his former president at Cagliari) just a few months earlier.
