Aldo Firicano (born 12 May 1967) is a former Italian football manager, currently working for Tuttocuoio, and former footballer, who played as a defender.

Playing career

After early years in the minor leagues, Firicano joined Cagliari in 1989, with whom he won promotion to Serie A under Claudio Ranieri and made his top-flight debut in 1990. In 1993, he also played in the UEFA Cup with them.

In 1996 he re-joined Ranieri at Fiorentina. He retired from professional football in 2004.

Coaching career

In 2004, Firicano took over his first coaching role as head coach of Sestese. He successively had a long career in Italy's minor professional and amateur leagues with different teams.

In 2017 he served as head coach of Carrarese.[1] After four years of inactivity, he was named new head coach of Serie D club Prato in February 2021.[2] He left the club by the end of the 2020–21 season, and was successively appointed in charge of Sangiovannese, another Tuscan Serie D club, on 8 March 2022.[3] He departed from Sangiovannese by the end of the 2022–23 season.

In March 2024, Firicano was signed by Tuttocuoio, and successfully guided the Tuscan club to win promotion to Serie D from Eccellenza, being subsequently confirmed in charge of the club.
