Playing career

A goalkeeper who took his first steps as a youth player for his hometown club Palermo, Cangelosi had a minor career in the Italian leagues for teams such as Kroton, Foggia and Siracusa. [1] [2]

Coaching career

In 1989, Cangelosi retired from active football to join his former youth coach Zdeněk Zeman, who he knows since the age of 11, [3] as his assistant at Foggia. [4]

Since then, Cangelosi consistently worked as Zeman's deputy for over 30 years, until his third coaching stint at Foggia in 2022. [4]

In December 2022, at 59 years of age, Cangelosi took on his first head coaching role, being appointed in charge of Serie D club Casertana. [4] Under his tenure, Casertana finished the season in third place in the Group G, later winning the playoff tournament and successively being readmitted to Serie C to fill a vacancy. [5] He left Casertana by the end of the season after guiding the club to a fourth place in the league table.

On 19 February 2025, Cangelosi was hired as the new head coach of Serie C club Perugia, replacing Lamberto Zauli. [6]
