Mignani made his Serie A debut on 13 January 1991 against U.S. Lecce. He then went on to spend ten seasons with Siena, serving as the team captain during the club's first Serie A campaign and being one of the mainstays for the Tuscans. He left in 2006, and Siena retired his #4 jersey number as an homage.
He retired in 2009 to return to Siena as a youth coach, initially for the Allievi Nazionali and, since 2010, for the primary youth team, the Primavera under-19 squad. [1]
He then served as head coach of Olbia for the club's 2016–17 Lega Pro campaign, but he was relieved of his managerial duties on 5 March 2017 following a string of six consecutive losses. [2]
On 25 November 2019 he was hired by Serie C club Modena. [3]
After two seasons in charge of Modena, Mignani left to join Serie C fallen giants Bari, which he successfully guided to win the title and subsequent return to Serie B. [4] He was sacked in October 2023 after a series of poor results. [5]
On 3 April 2024, Mignani was appointed in charge of Serie B promotion hopefuls Palermo. [6] After completing the regular season in sixth place and then losing to Venezia in the promotion playoff semifinals, Palermo announced Mignani's departure on 6 June 2024. [7] On 20 June 2024, Mignani signed for newly promoted Serie B club Cesena on a two-year contract. [8]

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 2009–10 Serie B season is the seventy-eighth edition since its establishment in 1929. Serie B is the second-highest division in the Italian football league system after the Serie A. It is contested by 22 teams and organized by the Lega Calcio.
Mauro Zironelli is an Italian professional football coach and a former player who played as a midfielder.
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 2012–13 Serie B is the 81st season since its establishment in 1929. A total of 22 teams will contest the league: 16 of which returning from the 2011–12 season, 4 of which promoted from Lega Pro Prima Divisione, and two relegated from Serie A. Puma replaced Nike as manufacturer of the official Serie B match ball, a relationship that continues today.
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 2017–18 Serie B was the 86th season since its establishment in 1929.
The 2018–19 Serie B was the 87th season of Serie B in Italy since its establishment in 1929.
