Andrea Stramaccioni (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛa stramatˈtʃoni]; born 9 January 1976) is an Italian former footballer who is the current head coach of Internazionale.

A football coach with years of successful experiences as youth coach of Roma and Internazionale, he was appointed in charge of first team duties on 26 March 2012 to replace Claudio Ranieri.

He is also a 2010 Law graduate.^[1]

Career[link]

Playing career[link]

A former defender, his playing career was cut short by a serious knee injury while with Bologna in the 1994–95 season.^[1]

Early years as youth coach[link]

After retiring as a footballer, Stramaccioni went on to become a football coach for a number of amateur youth teams. At age 25 he won a provincial title with Rome-based youth team Az Sport, then being hired by Romulea where he worked until 2005.^[1] Stramaccioni obtained the licence for youth coaches in 2003.^[2]

Youth coach at Roma[link]

In 2005 he joined the youth coaching staff at Roma, winning two national titles: Giovanissimi Nazionali in 2007 and Allievi Nazionali in 2010.^[1] On 9 May 2009, Stramaccioni obtained UEFA A coaching licence (Italy second category licence),^[3] made him eligible to work as a head coach of Lega Pro teams or as a vice-coach of Serie A and Serie B.^[4] However, Stramaccioni did not have a UEFA Pro Licence (Italy first category licence), he could only worked as a care-taker in the first and second division of Italy. On that day, Roberto Samaden, Inter youth academy director since 2006,^[5][6] also obtained the same licence. Samaden met Stramaccioni in the course and gave Stramaccioni a job in Inter 2 years later.

Internazionale Primavera[link]

After the departure of Fulvio Pea, who left Internazionale Primavera in summer 2011 to become the new Sassuolo head coach, Samaden called Stramaccioni to offer him the vacant position at the club, which he accepted (Roma was unable to offer the same position to Stramaccioni as Alberto De Rossi was the coach of that team and 2011 champion).^[1] Inter Primavera was the first in the Group B of its own league as of round 21 (22), the last round Stramaccioni was in charge, ahead Milan with 1 more point (both 21 games) and Varese with 2 points (and Varese had one more game, 22). Inter round 22 match was rescheduled and Milan also had a match (round 17) rescheduled. Primavera had a record of 13W4D4L 43GF and GA 19.^[7] Stramaccioni also led Inter Primavera to the final of the 2011–12 NextGen series, after winning Sporting CP in Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, Leiria and Marseille on 21 March in Griffin Park, London.^[8] The final was played on 25 March in Matchroom Stadium. The match finished in a 1–1 draw and Inter beat Ajax 5–3 in the resulting penalty shoot-out.^[9] On the same day as Inter's NextGen victory, the first team lost 2–0 to Juventus.

Internazionale[link]

On 26 March, Inter manager Claudio Ranieri was sacked and Stramaccioni was promoted to manager of the first team.^[10] As he lacks a UEFA Pro coaching license, he will work alongside long-time assistant coach Giuseppe Baresi.^[11] He led Inter to sixth place, and a success in the Derby della Madonnina against Milan that costed Inter's crosstown rivals the Serie A title; his results led club owner Massimo Moratti to confirm him as head coach for the 2012–13 season too.
