Lower leagues in Italy

[edit]

Sannino entered into a coaching career in 1990, as responsible of theAllievi(under-17) team atVogherese.In 1992, he became youth coach atPavia,and one year later he worked with the same role atMonza.In 1996, he took his first head coaching experience at amateurEccellenzaclubOltrepò,ending the season in sixth place.[3]After a short stint as youth coach atComo,in 1998 Sannino took his first head coaching role in a professional league atSerie C2clubBiellese:this experience however turned out to be disappointing, as he was dismissed before the end of the season.[3]

In 1999, he took charge ofSerie DclubSüdtirol,leading them to first place in the league, and then keeping the club in Serie C2 the following season. In 2001–02, he managedMeda,another Serie C2 club, but was dismissed again before the end of the season. In 2002–03, he then ledSangiovanneseto sixth place in Serie C2. Two other unsuccessful stints followed withVareseandCosenza,but both ended with him being fired.[4][5]

In 2005, he took the reins ofLecco,guiding the Lombardian team to a surprise promotion toSerie C1in his second season in charge of the club.[3]This was followed by three more consecutive promotions: the first atPergocrema(from Serie C2 to Serie C1), and the other two at Varese, where he was appointed bySean Soglianoduring the season and successfully guided the club from Serie C2 to Serie B. In his first season in Serie B, Sannino led Varese to a remarkable fourth place and a spot in the promotion playoffs, but lost toPadovain the semi-finals.[3]

Serie A and moving abroad

[edit]

In June 2011, Sannino signed a two-year contract as head coach of newly promotedSerie AclubSiena,taking over from departing BossAntonio Conte,who was signed by Italian giantsJuventus.The aim for the Tuscan club was to escape relegation in what was going to be Sannino's first experience in charge of a top flight club.[6]In the 2011–12 season, Sannino managed to keep Siena safely out of the relegation zone, and also led the club to theCoppa Italiasemi-finals, then lost to eventual winnersNapoli.

On 6 June 2012, Sannino signed a two-year contract as head coach ofPalermo,only a few weeks after Siena director of football Giorgio Perinetti made the same move to Sicily.[7]His short-lived experience with the Sicilians ended on 16 September 2012, when club chairmanMaurizio Zamparinidecided to remove him from first team duties after achieving only one point in the first three Serie A games; he was replaced byGian Piero Gasperini.[8]He was rehired on 11 March 2013.[9]Despite an impressive string of results with a particularly difficult calendar (including wins against Inter and Roma), however, he failed to keep Palermo in the top flight.

He was appointed as Chievo coach on 1 July. However, he was sacked on 11 November.

On 18 December 2013, he was confirmed as new head coach ofWatford.[10]On 15 March 2014, Sannino led Watford to a club record sixth consecutive home win in all competitions without conceding, with a 3–0 win againstBarnsley.[11]Despite winning four of the first five league games of the2014–15 season,and with Watford second in the table, his future was subject to speculation following rumours of dressing-room unrest and some players disliking his management style. Sannino resigned on 31 August, his last game in charge being their 4–2 home win againstHuddersfield Townthe day before.
