Fabrizio Castori (born on July 11, 1954 in San Severino Marche, Province of Macerata) is an Italian football coach currently in charge of Serie A side Carpi.
Castori was born in San Severino Marche, but grew up in Tolentino. He started his coaching career in 1980 at the age of 26 as head coach of Seconda Categoria team Belfortese from Belforte del Chienti. Initially a boss for amateur teams, having spent three seasons in Seconda Categoria (second-lowest division in Italian football) and three others in Prima Categoria, he led a Promozione team, Cerreto, to reach Serie D in 1990 (there was no Eccellenza division at that time). From 1992 to 1998 Castori coached Eccellenza team Tolentino leading them to Serie C2. In 1998-1999 he won a Serie D league and a Scudetto Dilettanti with Lanciano. After a poor Serie C1 season with Castel di Sangro, he returned at Lanciano in 2000, and immediately won the Serie C2 league. He stayed at Lanciano until 2003.
Cesena
In the summer 2003 he was appointed head coach of Serie C1 team Cesena. At his first season, he led Cesena to win the promotion playoffs and the Coppa Italia Serie C; this however was obscured by a 3-year ban on him after having been protagonist of a riot during the return leg of the promotion playoff finals against Lumezzane. The ban was successively reduced to 2 years following a pardon request by Castori himself;[1] during this time, Castori was unable to serve as head coach but, despite this, he was confirmed as Cesena's boss, with assistant manager Massimo Gadda serving at his place on the dugout until January 23, 2006.[2]
On November 11, 2007, following a 1–4 loss to Rimini in a regional derby and only seven points gained in the first fourteen matches, Castori was dismissed by Cesena, after four seasons at the helm of the bianconeri,[3] but was reinstated at his managing role only three months later following Giovanni Vavassori's dismissal on February 25, 2008;[4] his comeback at Cesena proved however to be unsuccessful, as the bianconeri were relegated to Serie C1 at the end of the season.
Salernitana
Castori served the 2008–09 season as head coach of newly promoted Serie B team Salernitana.[5] He was successively sacked later on December, to be replaced by Bortolo Mutti, and then re-called on February, only to be dismissed again on April and replaced by Fabio Brini, who guided the club to safety.
Piacenza
He was then appointed on June 2009 as new head coach of Piacenza for the upcoming 2009–10 Serie B season, being however dismissed on November due to poor results.[6]
Ascoli
On 3 November 2010 he returned into management as head coach of Serie B relegation-threatened club Ascoli.[7] On November 2, 2011 was sacked because of bad results. Ascoli is currently last in Serie B.[8]
Varese
Since 12 June 2012 he is the new head coach of Varese in Serie B.
Reggina
From October 2013 until December 2013 he had a brief stint as manager of Reggina in Serie B.
Carpi
On 30 June 2014, Castori was announced as the new manager of Serie B team Carpi, on a one year deal.[9] He started his Carpi experience in a hugely successful way, leading the small outsider club top of the league table by the end of the first season half and turning them into strong contenders to a historical first Serie A promotion. He was relieved of his duties on 28 September 2015.[10] He was reinstated as manager a month later on 3 November 2015.[11]
