Davide Nicola (born March 5, 1973 in Luserna San Giovanni) is an Italian football manager and former player who currently works as head coach of A.C. Lumezzane.

During his time in Genoa C.F.C. he was noted for kissing a policewoman on the sideline after a goal.[1] He also helped the club to lift the 1996 Anglo-Italian Cup.

In the Serie B 2005–06 playoffs he scored a goal that gave his Torino F.C. a promotion to Serie A. In the 2006/07 season of Serie B his good play for Spezia Calcio in the last few games contributed to Spezia avoiding relegation.

He only played in the Serie A for one season in the 2004/05 season (15 games for A.C. Siena).

On July 2010 he retired from player at Lumezzane in order to replace outgoing head coach Leonardo Menichini at the helm of the club.[2] On 28 June 2011 his contract was renewed.[3]
