Vincenzo Cangelosi (born 12 October 1963) is an Italian football coach and former goalkeeper, currently in charge of Serie C Group C club Casertana.

Playing career[edit]

A goalkeeper who took his first steps as a youth player for his hometown club Palermo, Cangelosi had a minor career in the Italian leagues for teams such as Kroton, Foggia and Siracusa.[1][2]

Coaching career[edit]

In 1989, Cangelosi retired from active football to join his former youth coach Zdeněk Zeman, who he knows since the age of 11,[3] as his assistant at Foggia.[4]

Since then, Cangelosi consistently worked as Zeman's deputy for over 30 years, until his third coaching stint at Foggia in 2022.[4]

In December 2022, at 59 years of age, Cangelosi took on his first head coaching role, being appointed in charge of Serie D club Casertana.[4] Under his tenure, Casertana finished the season in third place in the Group G, later winning the playoff tournament and successively being readmitted to Serie C to fill a vacancy.[5]
