After spending years coaching the youth teams of two clubs in Perugia, and two more in Bologna, Buscaglia was offered the head coach role for the 1996–97 season, with Piove di Sacco. For the 2001–02 season, he began as the assistant coach of Bears Mestre in the Serie B (Italian 3rd Division), and later he was named the head coach of the team.

He later went back to Mestre, and then Perugia Basket, achieving many league promotions.

In the 2013–14 season, he won the Italian LNP Cup (2nd tier Italian Cup) and, in the same year, he achieved a league promotion to the Italian top-tier level LBA for the first time.
