Coaching career

Having been released in 2010 by Cremonese and having decided to retire, Viali became coach of Serie D side Fiorenzuola. After leading the club away from relegation, Viali left the club in 2011. In 2012, Parma announced Viali had become the head coach of their under-16 team. [2]

On 5 December 2017, he was hired as the head coach of Serie C club Cuneo. [3]

On 14 June 2018, he was appointed the new head coach for Novara, which was relegated to Serie C at the end of the previous season. [4]

On 4 June 2019, Novara announced that his contract would not be extended past its expiration on 30 June 2019. [5]

On 28 January 2020, he joined Serie C club Cesena. [6] He left Cesena by the end of the 2021–22 Serie C season.

On 2 November 2022, Viali signed a contract until 30 June 2023 to become the new head coach of Serie B club Cosenza to replace Davide Dionigi, in what was also his first managerial job in the Italian second division. [7] He left Cosenza by the end of the season to sign for fellow Serie B club Ascoli, but was dismissed on 13 November 2023 due to poor results, after achieving only twelve points in the first 13 league games of the season. [8]

On 11 March 2024, Viali returned to Cosenza, agreeing to a contract with the Serie B club until 30 June 2025. [9] He departed the club by the end of the 2023–24 Serie B campaign after the club chose not to confirm him for the new 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.
