Mauro Zironelli (born 21 January 1970) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player who played as a midfielder.
He successively accepted an offer from Mestre for the 2016–17 season, managing to win promotion to Lega Pro with the club.
After a good Serie C season, he was subsequently hired by Bari in what turned out to be a short-lived experience with the Apulians; after going to the pre-season camp with the squad, he was released together with all the players following the club's exclusion from professional football due to financial debts.
[2] Later, in August 2018, he was unveiled as the inaugural head coach of Juventus U23 after it was admitted in the Serie C as the very first reserve team ever to take part to the professional leagues of Italy.
[11] He was however sacked on 19 December 2022, leaving Luparense in eighth place in the league table, and replaced by his assistant Nicolò Cherubin,[12] only to be called back just eight days later.
