Giancarlo Camolese (born February 25, 1961 in Turin) is an Italian football (soccer) manager and former player.

Career

Playing

Camolese started his professional career with hometown club Torino. He then played for Biellese, Reggina, Alessandria, Lazio, Padova, Vicenza and Taranto. He retired from professional football in 1993.

Coaching

Camolese started his managing career working as Torino's youth coach. He was appointed as first team coach in 2001 following Luigi Simoni's sacking, and led the "granata" to immediate promotion in Serie A and a safe escape from relegation one year later. Sacked on October 2002 because of poor results, he returned into coaching in 2003, replacing Franco Colomba at the helm of Reggina, and avoiding relegation once again; this however proved not to be enough for Camolese to be confirmed for the next season.

He served as Vicenza head coach in their 2005-06 campaign, as well as the first five Serie B 2006-07 matches, before being fired and replaced by Angelo Gregucci. He was appointed to replace Fernando Orsi as Livorno boss in October 2007, [cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/oct10d.html|publisher=Football Italia|date=2007-10-10|accessdate=2007-10-10|title=Livorno turn to Camolese] being however sacked himself on April 28, 2008, leaving Livorno down in bottom place with three league matches remaining.cite web|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/SerieA/Squadre/Livorno/Primo_Piano/2008/04_Aprile/28/livornorsi.shtml |publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|date=2008-04-28|accessdate=2008-04-28|title=Spinelli caccia Camolese.
