After a couple of years at Winterslag Briganti trained the first teams of the clubs KSC Hasselt, Bilzerse VV, KFC Zwarte Leeuw and K. Stade Leuven.

After a short career as trainer Briganti became football teacher at Bloso. He combined that function with scouting tasks for Waseige, who assigned him as his assistant for the Belgium national team. In 2001, he even became the factual trainer of the Belgian Red Devils for a friendly match against Czech Republic (a 1–1 draw) as stand-in for Waseige who underwent heart surgery; he trained the outfield players while Jacky Munaron trained the goalkeepers. [4] With Briganti as assistant trainer, Belgium reached the second stage at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Later, he also became Marc Wilmots's assistant for a short time with Sint-Truidense V.V.
