Francesco Guidolin (born October 3, 1955 in Castelfranco Veneto) is an Italian football manager and former player.
After a mild playing career, in 1988 Guidolin debuted in a managing role as head coach of Serie C2 team Giorgione, the main club of his native city, Castelfranco Veneto. He then coached teams such as Treviso (Serie C2), Fano, Empoli and Ravenna (all in Serie C1). After having led Ravenna to a Serie B promotion, Guidolin was successively appointed in 1993 as coach of Serie A team Atalanta, but he did not achieve great success and he was fired after just 10 matches.
The next season, Guidolin joined Vicenza, leading the team from Serie B to win the Italian Cup in 1997 and even obtaining a semi-final of Cup Winners' Cup on his first adventure at the European level, then lost to Chelsea, in 1998. After that successful season, Guidolin left Vicenza for Udinese in season 1998/1999. After having been fired after a disappointing start in the 1999/2000 season, Guidolin signed for Bologna: he coached the rossoblu until 2003, then leaving the team after heavy protests from supporters, started from an insulting phrase about the city of Bologna which escaped him during a league match.
Guidolin, after six months of inactivity, was appointed to replace Silvio Baldini at the helm of Serie B team Palermo in January 2004. He then successfully conducted the team to win the league, and a UEFA Cup qualification the next year, leaving the club at the end of that season.
Guidolin was then appointed as Genoa head coach; however, after the team was relegated to Serie C1 by the Football Federation because of alleged fixing, Guidolin rescinded his contract. He was appointed coach of AS Monaco in October 2005, but after just one season in charge he departed the club after a campaign in which Monaco finished a disappointing 30 points behind Ligue 1 champions Lyon.
As of May 30, 2006, Guidolin was re-hired by Palermo in a shock announcement found on the team's webpage. The deal is for three years and a currently undisclosed sum.
