Christian Damiano (born 9 March 1950) is a French football coach who has worked extensively in England in recent years.
Damiano had a mediocre career as a player, playing mostly for OGC Nice.
As a coach Damiano worked for over ten years in various roles at the French Football Federation, including as assistant to Gérard Houllier in France's triumph at the 1996 edition of the European Under-19 Football Championship. He also spent time coaching at OGC Nice.
He first came to England in 2000 when he was appointed assistant to Jean Tigana at Fulham F.C. and remained at the club until Tigana's departure in 2003. He then returned to work alongside Houllier again, this time as a coach at Liverpool F.C., although he departed along with the manager in 2004. He was soon appointed to assist Steve Wigley at Southampton F.C., although he left this role after the arrival of Harry Redknapp. He was briefly linked with the manager's job of the Australian national team[1], although he ultimately lost out to Guus Hiddink. Damiano returned to Southampton as assistant to George Burley but has since been appointed assistant to Claudio Ranieri, first at Juventus, then at A.S. Roma.[2]
