Guerino Capretti (born 5 February 1982) is a German former footballer and coach, who manages VfB Lübeck. He previously managed SC Verl, Dynamo Dresden, and FC Ingolstadt.[1] As a player he played for SC Paderborn, FC Gütersloh, Delbrücker SC, Preußen Münster and SC Verl.

Playing career

Capretti was born in Maddaloni, Italy,[2] but was raised in Germany and was educated at Gymnasium Harsewinkel in Harsewinkel.[3] He played youth football with TSG Harsewinkel, before playing with SC Paderborn between 1998 and 2004.[4][5] He spent the 2004–05 season with FC Gütersloh, before playing for Delbrücker SC between 2005 and 2008.[6] He scored 3 times in 32 Oberliga Westfalen matches during the 2006–07 season, and once in 30 matches during the 2007–08 Oberliga Westfalen.[7]

In February 2008, it was announced that Capretti would join Preußen Münster on a two-year contract from the start of the 2008–09 season.[4][5] He was club captain during his time at Preußen Münster,[8][9] and made 53 league appearances in the Regionalliga West over two seasons at the club.[6] He was released by the club in summer 2010.[9]

He transferred to SC Verl in summer 2010,[10] and played 121 times in the Regionalliga West for the club across 5 seasons.[6]

Managerial career

Capretti returned to Delbrücker SC as player-coach in January 2015, on a contract until summer 2015,[11] and he obtained his UEFA B License in summer 2015.[12]

SC Verl

In January 2017, Capretti was announced as the new manager of Regionalliga West club SC Verl for the following season.[13] He took over as manager of SC Verl in April 2017, after Andreas Golombek was sacked, though he would remain active as a player for Delbrücker SC until the end of the season.[14] He led Verl to a 13th place finish in the 2016–17 season,[15] and in the 2017–18 season, his first full season as manager, Verl finished 8th.[16] In January 2019, his contract with Verl was extended to 2021,[17] and Verl finished the 2018–19 season in 7th.[18]

In March 2020, Capretti again extended his contract with Verl until summer 2022.[19] The 2019–20 Regionalliga was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic with Verl 2nd in the Regionalliga West, and as league leaders SV Rödinghausen did not apply for a license to compete in the 3. Liga, Verl entered the Regionalliga promotion play-offs.[20] The club were promoted to the 3. Liga through the play-offs, winning on away goals after drawing over two legs against Lokomotive Leipzig.[21]

Capretti led Verl to a 7th place finish in their first year back in the 3. Liga,[22] but he left Verl in February 2022, with the club occupying a relegation place in the 3. Liga.[23]

Liga, having lost in the relegation play-off to 1. FC Kaiserslautern, with Capretti failing to win in his 12 matches as Dynamo Dresden manager.[25][26]

On 1 February 2023, Capretti was appointed as the new manager of FC Ingolstadt.[27] He was sacked two months later, having won just four points from 10 matches as manager, with the now club six points above the relegation places.[28]

Liga to the Regionalliga Nord.[29][30] In April 2025, Capretti's contract was extended to summer 2027.[31] He stepped down from his position after the 2025/26 season.[32]
