Playing career

Born in Pescara, Camplone grew up playing with his hometown club, for whom he spent nine full seasons as a senior, amassing a total 188 games (52 of which at Serie A level). He left Pescara in 1992 to join Perugia, with whom he won two promotions (from Serie C1 to Serie B and then to Serie A in 1996)). He then spent two seasons with Ancona before ending his career in 1999 after a short stint with Gubbio.

Coaching career

Camplone started his career as trainer at amateur Promozione level, guiding Abruzzo club Penne. In 2006, he took his first managing job at professional level, as head coach of Serie C1 club Lanciano, followed by a very short stint at hometown club Pescara and a number of other coaching jobs at Serie C1 level.

In November 2012 he was named head coach of Perugia, which he led to second place in the Serie C1/B league and subsequent elimination in the promotion playoff semifinals to Pisa. Following this defeat, he was dismissed from his position, only to be renamed as Perugia boss two months later after his replacement Cristiano Lucarelli was sacked before the first matchday of the season. [1] On his second tenure at Perugia, Camplone managed to lead the Grifone to win the 2013–14 Lega Pro Prima Divisione title and get promoted to Serie B.

He eventually coached Serie B team Bari before being appointed head coach at Cesena on 31 October 2016. [2]

However he failed to reach the playoffs and his team arrived at the 13th seed in the league table.

He was confirmed for the following season. On 30 September 2017, almost after 1 year of his appointment, he was sacked from the Emilian team after a 5–2 away defeat against Pro Vercelli; he has been replaced by Fabrizio Castori who returned to Cesena after 9 years. [3]

In July 2019 he returned into club management, signing a one-year contract as the new head coach of Catania for the club's 2019–20 Serie C season. [4] He was dismissed by Catania on 21 October 2019 following a 0–5 loss to Vibonese, which was 3rd loss in 4 games, with club in 9th position in the table. [5]

On 19 October 2020 he was hired by Serie C club Arezzo. [6] On 17 January 2021 he was sacked due to poor results. [7]

The 2015–16 Serie B was the 84th season since its establishment in 1929. A total of 22 teams contested the league: 16 returning from the 2014–15 season, 4 promoted from Lega Pro, and 2 relegated from Serie A. Vacancies created by the bankruptcy of Serie A-relegated Parma and the demotion of Catania to Lega Pro due to match fixing allowed Brescia to remain in the league despite being relegated. Furthermore, Teramo was due to participate to Serie B but due to the allegations for match-fixing, the Courts decided to relegate Teramo in the last place of Lega Pro of the previous season. After the demotion of Catania, Virtus Entella was readmitted into Serie B as the best team of the relegated teams from the previous season. Furthermore, Ascoli was promoted into the championship after finishing second in Lega Pro Group B, second after Teramo before being stripped of the title for the match-fixing scandal.
