Playing career

Coaching career

In 2014, D'Antoni was named the new head coach of Eccellenza amateur club Nuova Sorianese. In 2015, following his club's merger with Monterosi, he was named the head coach of the resulting new club Nuova Monterosi, with whom he won the 2015–16 Eccellenza title and guided them in the successive 2016–17 Serie D campaign.

From 2017 to 2019 he worked as youth coach of Frosinone. ^[1]

In June 2019 he left Frosinone to return to Monterosi as head coach. ^[2] Under his tenure, Monterosi won the 2020–21 Serie D league, thus ensuring themselves a historical first promotion to Serie C. ^[3]

D'Antoni was confirmed in charge of Monterosi for the club's debut Serie C season but was relieved from his managerial duties on 9 November 2021 following a negative string of results. ^[4]

In July 2022, D'Antoni was appointed the new head coach of ambitious Serie D club Cynthialbalonga. ^[5] He left the club by the end of the 2022–23 Serie D season. ^[6]
