Eziolino "Ezio" Capuano (born 19 January 1965) is an Italian football coach and former player, who currently serves as head coach of Arezzo in Lega Pro.

Career

Coach

Capuano is a head coach with massive experience as head coach in the lower ranks of Italian football, all from and below the third tier, and all in Southern Italy. He started his football activity as coach since the age of 20.[1]

On September 2010 he was named new head coach of bottom-placed Belgian top flight club Eupen, with no points in the first five games under the guidance of Capuano's predecessor.[1] In his debut in charge of the club, Capuano guided Eupen to a 0–0 away draw to Zulte Waregem, the first point in top flight history for the club.[2] This was followed by a home loss at the hands of Germinal Beerschot and a sounding 4–0 defeat at Club Brugge's home. On September 24 Capuano announced his immediate resignation from the club, together with his whole coaching staff.[3][4] On 1 November he was announced as new head coach of Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Paganese, a club he had already managed during the 2008–09 season.[5]

He has been the head coach of Fondi, since 17 January 2012 h[6] until 18 December 2012, when he resigned.

On July 2013 he was introduced as the new head coach of newly promoted Lega Pro Seconda Divisione club Casertana. His time at Casertana was however quite short-lived, as he was fired after only three games in charge.

Capuano returned into management in June 2014, as new head coach of Arezzo; the club, originally scheduled to play in the amateur Serie D league at the time of Capuano's appointment, was then admitted to Lega Pro to fill a vacancy.
