Dario Marcolin (born 28 October 1971) is an Italian football coach and former player, who played as a midfielder. He also worked as a football pundit after retiring.

Contents

Club career

Marcolin was born in Brescia. During his career, he played for Cremonese, Lazio, Cagliari, Genoa, Blackburn Rovers (where he scored once against Manchester United at Old Trafford), [2] Sampdoria, Piacenza, Napoli and Palazzolo. [3]

International career

At international level, Marcolin was never capped at senior level, but represented the Italy under-21 side on 22 occasions, [4] making his debut in 1991 alongside his Cremonese teammate Mauro Bonomi, [5] and winning the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in 1992, [6] and in 1994, where he was named the team's captain. [7] He also played in the 1992 Olympic football tournament. [8]

Style of play

An experienced central or defensive midfielder, Marcolin was usually deployed as a ball-winner due to his work-rate and stamina, or as a deep-lying playmaker, due to his good vision; however, he was also known for his lack of pace or notable athletic attributes, and in later years, as he struggled with fitness, was at times criticised for his poor work-rate in midfield. He was also known for his leadership. [3] [9]

Coaching career

After retiring from football as a player, he became a coach, joining Brescia as an assistant coach in 2006, and then becoming first team coach at Inter alongside his former Lazio teammate Roberto Mancini.

In June 2008, he accepted his first managerial role at head of Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Monza, but was fired later that year in December.

In December 2009, he was appointed as assistant to Siniša Mihajlović at Catania. [10] Mihajlović and Marcolin had already worked together as players with Lazio, and both as assistants to Mancini at Inter.

In the 2010–11 season, after Mihajlović joined Fiorentina, he followed him to became an assistant at the Florentine club.

On 12 July 2012, he was appointed new head coach of Serie B side Modena. [11]

In July 2013, he took over at another Serie B club, Padova, replacing Fulvio Pea at the helm of the ambitious Venetians, [12] but he was sacked on 28 September 2013 due to poor results.

On 3 January 2015, he was named new head coach of Serie B strugglers Catania. [13]

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 B is the seventy-ninth season since its establishment in 1929, and the first one under the rule of the new Lega Serie B. A total of 22 teams contest the league, 15 of which returned from the 2009–10 season, 4 of which have been promoted from Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and three relegated from Serie A.

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.

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.

The 2019–20 Serie B was the 88th season since its establishment in 1929. The 20-team format returned after 16 years, the last time being in the 2002–03 season. The season was scheduled to run from 23 August 2019 to 14 May 2020, though on 9 March 2020, the Italian government halted the league until 3 April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. Serie B did not resume play on this date. On 18 May, it was announced that Italian football would be suspended until 14 June. On 28 May, it was announced that Serie B would resume starting from 20 June.
