Club career

D'Angelo began his playing career at Chieti in the late 1980s; he collected 100 caps in Serie B with Castel di Sangro, Fermana, Alzano Virescit and Rimini.[ citation needed ]

Coaching career

Early years

Following his retirement, he began his coaching career in 2009 with Rimini youth team. Next season he has been named first-team manager of the Serie D side Rimini.[ citation needed ]

In November 2013, he replaced Egidio Notaristefano as manager of the Lega Pro side Alessandria.[ citation needed ]

In July 2015, he signed a one-year contract for the 2015–16 season with Lega Pro side Fidelis Andria. [1] After finishing the season at 7th place, on 7 May he announced that he wouldn't renewed his contract with the club.

For the 2016–17 season, he was appointed as the new coach of Bassano Virtus. [2]

After being dismissed in 2017, [3] he was appointed as the manager of Casertana. [4]

Pisa

On 24 June 2018, he became the new manager of Pisa. [5] He obtained promotion to Serie B with the team during the 2018–19 season. [6]

Successively, he guided Pisa for three Serie B campaigns, the last of which saw the Tuscan side fighting for a Serie A spot, ending the regular season in third place, just one point out of direct promotion. They ultimately made it to the promotion playoffs, where they were defeated by Monza in a two-legged final after extra time. A few days later, Pisa announced that they had parted ways with D'Angelo after four seasons. [7]

On 19 September 2022, following the dismissal of his successor Rolando Maran, he was rehired as Pisa manager. [8] On 2 June 2023, after completing the 2022–23 Serie B season in a mid-table placement and failing to qualify for the promotion playoffs, Pisa announced the dismissal of D'Angelo for a second time. [9]

On 15 November 2023, Serie B club Spezia announced that it had appointed D'Angelo as their new head coach in place of Massimiliano Alvini. [10]

After saving Spezia from relegation in the 2023–24 Serie B, D'Angelo guided the Ligurian club to third place in the league the following season, making it to the promotion playoff finals, where they eventually lost to Cremonese. D'Angelo's time as Spezia head coach ended on 4 November 2025, following a disappointing start to the 2025–26 Serie B season. [11]
