Marco Baroni (born 11 September 1963 in Florence) is an Italian football manager and former player. He is currently in charge as head coach of Cremonese.

Playing career

Baroni started his career with Fiorentina, and reached his football peaks during his time at Napoli, where he played his first seasons as a Serie A regular, winning an Italian championship title and a Supercoppa Italiana title in 1990. He left Napoli in 1991 to join Bologna, and then left the club due to its financial issues; after a short spell at Serie C2 club Poggibonsi, he then joined Serie B side Ancona, and moved to Verona in 1996, where he enjoyed his last appearances in the Italian top flight. He retired in 2000 after two seasons with hometown Serie C2 club Rondinella.

Coaching career

After his retired from playing football, Baroni was immediately appointed head coach of Rondinella in 2000, and then served with a handful of other Serie C2 clubs such as Montevarchi, Carrarese and Südtirol-Alto Adige. In 2007 he was appointed as new head coach of Serie C1 club Ancona, but failed to complete his season with the biancorossi, and later accepted a youth coach offer from Serie A club Siena. During the 2008–09 season, Baroni guided the Siena Primavera (under-19) team to the Campionato Primavera final, which they eventually lost to Palermo.

On 29 October 2009 Siena appointed Baroni as new head coach in order to replace dismissed boss Marco Giampaolo.^[1] His reign as first team coach however lasted only three weeks, as he was stripped of his managerial duties on 23 November following a home defeat to Atalanta, with Alberto Malesani being appointed at his place,^[2] and Baroni being re-appointed back at his previous role of under-19 team coach.^[3]

On June 2010 he was announced as new head coach of Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Cremonese.^[4]
