[edit] Career

[edit] Playing

Orlandi spent his career playing for several amateur teams, notably playing with Akragas throughout the 1970s and the 1980s, and being nicknamed l'agricoltore (the peasant) because of his particular running style.[3]

[edit] Coaching

After a short experience working as youth team coach for Vicenza, Orlandi joined Reggina in 1989, becoming their Allievi Nazionali (16-year-old youngsters) head coach, being then promoted at the helm of the Primavera (main youth team roster) soon later,[4] and successively serving as assistant manager to Franco Colomba during the amaranto's 2000–2001 campaign. Later on he had a few other experiences at the helm of amateur teams Potenza and Maglie, and, more notably, with Vittoria, where he won the Serie C2 playoffs in 2004 and headed the Sicilian team during the first five weeks of the following season, in Serie C1.[5] He then returned at Reggina, where he served as youth team coach, and then as club scout for Latin America.

On March 3, 2008 he was appointed to replace Renzo Ulivieri at the helm of Reggina's first team.[6] During his stint as first team coach, results dramatically improved and Reggina managed to mathematically save themselves from relegation in advance of one week.
