Michele Mignani (born 30 April 1972) is an Italian professional football manager and former defender. He last served as the head coach of Serie B club Cesena.

Playing career

Mignani made his Serie A debut on 13 January 1991 against U.S. Lecce. He then went on to spend ten seasons with Siena, serving as the team captain during the club's first Serie A campaign and being one of the mainstays for the Tuscans. He left in 2006, and Siena retired his #4 jersey number as an homage.

Coaching career

He retired in 2009 to return to Siena as a youth coach, initially for the Allievi Nazionali and, since 2010, for the primary youth team, the Primavera under-19 squad.[1]

He then served as head coach of Olbia for the club's 2016–17 Lega Pro campaign, but he was relieved of his managerial duties on 5 March 2017 following a string of six consecutive losses.[2]

On 25 November 2019 he was hired by Serie C club Modena.[3]

After two seasons in charge of Modena, Mignani left to join Serie C fallen giants Bari, which he successfully guided to win the title and subsequent return to Serie B.[4] He was sacked in October 2023 after a series of poor results.[5]

On 3 April 2024, Mignani was appointed in charge of Serie B promotion hopefuls Palermo.[6] After completing the regular season in sixth place and then losing to Venezia in the promotion playoff semifinals, Palermo announced Mignani's departure on 6 June 2024.[7] On 20 June 2024, Mignani signed for newly promoted Serie B club Cesena on a two-year contract.[8] He was dismissed from his position at Cesena on 14 March 2026 after a 2–2 home draw with Frosinone.[9]
