Giacomo Modica (born May 31, 1964 in Mazara del Vallo) is an Italian football manager and former midfielder. He is the current manager of Serie C2 team Celano.

After a playing career spent with several Serie B and Serie C1 teams, most notably Palermo and Padova, he moved into coaching, working as Zdenek Zeman's assistant for six years (even following him at Fenerbahçe) before becoming a head coach himself.^[1] In 2004 he worked for Serie D team Cosenza with little fortune; he then worked for Serie C2 teams Melfi in 2006 and Celano the following year, leading the latter to an impressive season and a spot in the promotion playoffs.
