Coaching career

After retiring as a player, he stayed at Virtus Entella as a youth coach. On 6 May 2018, he was named new head coach in place of dismissed manager Alfredo Aglietti, taking over a Virtus Entella side in deep relegation trouble (20th place with two games to go). [2] Virtus Entella were eventually relegated after losing a two-legged playoff to Ascoli, and Volpe moved back into coaching the Under-19 team afterwards.

On 12 April 2021, he was moved once again in charge of the first team, taking over from Vincenzo Vivarini as Virtus Entella was at the bottom of the Serie B league table with five games to go. [3] Later on 1 May 2021, Virtus Entella were relegated to Serie C following a home loss to Vicenza, having achieved only a single point during Volpe's first three games in charge of the club. [4]

After two Serie C seasons with Virtus Entella, failing to win promotion in both cases, Volpe was dismissed on 17 September 2023, one day after a home loss to neighbouring rivals Sestri Levante. [5]

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.

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.

After the demotion of Catania, Virtus Entella was readmitted into Serie B as the best team of the relegated teams from the previous season.
