Marzio Innocenti (born 4 September 1958, in Livorno) is a former Italian rugby union player and coach and current sports director.
[4] After his retirement and after having obtained a degree in medicine at the Padua University and started a practice as an otorhinolaryngologist,[5] Innocenti started his coaching career by being part of Bertrand Fourcade's staff at the 1991 Rugby World Cup and at the same time being in charge of the Italian "A" team alongside Massimo Mascioletti and Stefano Romagnoli.
[6] In 1991, after the World Cup, he took charge of CUS Padova, that he led until 1996 when the club, after having won its third promotion under Innocenti's guide, was admitted for the first and only time in its history to Serie A1 (now Top12), the highest tier of Italian rugby.
In 2000 he was elected to the board of the Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR), role in which he was confirmed in 2004 after having been defeated by Giancarlo Dondi in his bid for presidency of the same organization.
[7] In 2005 Innocenti accepted to return to coaching for Valsugana Rugby, in Padua, leading the club to an immediate promotion.
