In 1989 Braglia accepted his first managerial job, at the helm of amateur Tuscan team Bibbienese. He then coached a number of Tuscan teams in the lower ranks of Italian football with some success, including a
Serie C2 title with Montevarchi in 1995.In 1999 he accepted his first coaching job outside of Tuscany, becoming head coach of Foggia in the Serie C2, obtaining a fourth place in the final table. He then returned to Tuscany, again to Montevarchi, before to join Chieti, which he led for two seasons in the
Serie C1 league. In 2003–04 he returned to Catanzaro, this time as a head coach, and led the "giallorossi" to win the Serie C1 title and establish them back inSerie B after over a decade in the lower tiers. He was however sacked during the club's followingSerie B campaign due to poor results. He then returned in Tuscany, joining Sangiovannese, a team he already twice in theSerie D during his early coaching years, and achieving an impressive third place in their Serie C1 campaign. In 2006 he accepted an offer from Pisa, with the aim to lead the "nerazzurri" back toSerie B ; a third place in the regular season, followed by a successful campaign in the promotion playoffs, assured Pisa and Braglia a place in the second-highest Italian league for the next season. However, after discussions with the club management, Braglia opted to leave Pisa and accept an offer from Lucchese, another Tuscan Serie C1 team with aims of promotions. However, despite this, Lucchese ended only in eighth place and failed to qualify to the promotion playoffs.On June 2008 Braglia was unveiled as head coach of
Serie B team Frosinone, replacingAlberto Cavasin .References
