Contents

Playing career

Fortunato had a rather successful career at the top flight level, also spending two seasons with Serie A powerhouse Juventus from 1989 to 1991; during his time with the Bianconeri, Fortunato also won a UEFA Cup title in 1989–90

Coaching career

After his retirement, Fortunato started a coaching career as Emiliano Mondonico's assistant at Napoli and Cosenza, and then starting a head coaching career of his own with minor league teams Cuneo, Ivrea and Pergocrema.

On July 2010 he returned to work alongside his mentor Mondonico at Serie B club AlbinoLeffe, then taking over head coaching duties on 29 January 2011 after he was forced to take a sick leave due to health issues.[1][2] Fortunato served as head coach for a total of two games, ended in a win and a loss, and returned to his previous assistant duties on 15 February 2011, after Mondonico successfully recovered from his health issues.[3][4]

On 17 June 2011 he was permanently appointed as head coach of AlbinoLeffe, after Mondonico was forced to resign due to illness.[5][6]
