Player career

Sottil started his career with Torino and made his Serie A debut on 6 December 1992, in a 1–1 draw to Foggia. In 1994, he left Torino to join Fiorentina, then moving to Atalanta later in 1996. In 1999, he moved to Udinese, where he also had the opportunity to play at continental level in the UEFA Cup.

Sottil was signed by Reggina in co-ownership deal in summer 2003, along with teammate Gonzalo Martínez. In summer 2005, he was signed by Catania, which he was the regular starter in the first two-season, but only played 7 games in 2007–08 Serie A.

In August 2008, he was signed by Rimini. [2] In July 2009 he left for Alessandria. [3] [4] He retired at the end of the 2010–11 season, having managed over 200 games in Serie A throughout his career.

Coach

Soon after retirement, Sottil passed the category 2 (UEFA A) coaching exam in June 2011. [5] Later in the summer, he was appointed new head coach of Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Siracusa, with the goal of leading the ambitious Sicilians into the battle to promotion in the Serie B league. [6]

In 2012, he was hired as the coach of Gubbio in Lega Pro Prima Divisione. In 2013, he was appointed the coach of Cuneo in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. [7] He was fired on 7 January 2014. [8] Ezio Rossi replaced Sottil on the next day. [9]

In 2015, Sottil returned to newly-promoted Siracusa, leaving the club in the summer of 2017. [10]

He was re-hired by Livorno on 8 April 2018, after getting fired earlier in the same season. [11]

On 5 July 2018, he was appointed the new coach of Catania. He was fired from Catania on 2 July 2019. [12]

On 7 July 2020, he took his first Serie B managerial role, being named Nicola Legrottaglie's successor at the helm of Pescara in a last-ditch attempt to save the club from relegation. He guided Pescara to safety after defeating Perugia on penalties in a two-legged playoff, and was eventually not confirmed for the next season.

On 23 December 2020, he took over as the new head coach of relegation-threatened Serie B side Ascoli, [13] becoming the third manager of the season for the Bianconeri. [14] After guiding Ascoli for two seasons, and reaching the promotion playoffs in his final one in charge of the club, on 6 June 2022, Sottil left the Picchio by mutual consent. [15] The following day, he was announced as the new head coach of Serie A club Udinese. [16]

After guiding Udinese to a mid-table placement in the 2022–23 Serie A campaign, Sottil was dismissed on 24 October 2023 after failing to achieve any wins in the first nine games of the season, leaving Udinese in the relegation zone. [17]

Personal life

His son Riccardo Sottil made his Serie A debut for Fiorentina in the 2018–19 season. [18]

The 2008–09 Serie A was the 107th season of top-tier Italian football, the 77th in a round-robin tournament. It began on 30 August 2008 and ended on 31 May 2009, with the announcement of the list of fixtures made on 25 July 2008. 20 teams competed in the league, 17 of which returned from the previous season, and three were promoted from 2007–08 Serie B.

The 2009–10 Serie A was the 108th season of top-tier Italian football, the 78th in a round-robin tournament. There were three promoted teams from the Serie B, replacing the three teams that were relegated following the 2008–09 season. Nike provided a new match ball – the T90 Ascente – for this season. Following the season, citing a larger television contract, the seventeen teams that survived the season and the three promoted sides formed a new league akin to England's Premier League.

The 2010–11 Serie A was the 109th season of top-tier Italian football, the 79th in a round-robin tournament, and the 1st since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B. It began on 28 August 2010 and ended on 22 May 2011. Internazionale were the defending champions.

The 2012–13 Serie B is the 81st season since its establishment in 1929. A total of 22 teams will contest the league: 16 of which returning from the 2011–12 season, 4 of which promoted from Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and two relegated from Serie A. Puma replaced Nike as manufacturer of the official Serie B match ball, a relationship that continues today.

The 2013–14 Serie A was the 112th season of top-tier Italian football, the 82nd in a round-robin tournament, and the 4th since its organization under a league committee separate from Serie B. The season began on 24 August 2013 and concluded on 18 May 2014. As in previous years, Nike provided the official ball for all matches with a new Nike Incyte model used throughout the season. Juventus were the defending champions, and successfully defended their title to win a third Serie A title in a row with a record-breaking 102 points.

The 2013–14 Serie B was the 82nd season since its establishment in 1929. A total of 22 teams contested the league: 15 of which were returning from the 2012–13 season, 4 of which were promoted from Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and three relegated from Serie A.

The 2014–15 Serie B was the 83rd season since its establishment in 1929. A total of 22 teams contested the league: 14 of which returning from the 2013–14 season, 5 of which promoted from Prima Divisione, and three relegated from Serie A. The original concept was that due to Siena's exclusion because of financial issues and the fact such vacancy will not be filled in preparation of a future reduction to a league composed by 20 teams, this season featured 21 participant clubs instead of the usual 22. However, on 11 August 2014, Novara won an appeal and the league confirmed a 22nd team. On 29 August, the league chose Vicenza Calcio as the 22nd participant.

Ciro Danucci is an Italian football manager and former player.

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.
