Marco Osio (born 13 January 1966 in Ancona) is an Italian former football midfielder, and currently a manager.
[edit] Career
Osio started his playing career in the Torino youth system. In 1986 he moved at Empoli, and Parma in 1987. In his stay at Parma, he became one of the fan favourites, being nicknamed "Sindaco" (Mayor) by the local supporters, and a key player for the team which climbed the Italian football up from Serie C1 to Serie A and the European success in the UEFA Cup. In 1993, after six seasons with Parma, he returned to Torino for two seasons before an unexpected move to Brazilian club Palmeiras, which makes him one of the very few Italian footballers to have ever played in the South-American country. After a few experiences at the Serie C level, he retired in 2001 to become assistant manager of Serie C2 club Brescello. He was successively promoted to the head coaching position in 2002. From December 2003 to February 2005 he served as head coach of Serie D side Valle d'Aosta, and in the latter matchdays of the 2005-2006 season he coached Pergolese, another Serie D team. In 2006-07, Osio served as head coach of Crociati Parma (also known as Crociati Noceto)[1][2], with whom he won Eccellenza and ensured promotion to the 2007-08 Serie D. [3] On July 2007, he was chosen by Serie C2 club Nuorese for their head coaching position.[4] He was however sacked on September 17 due to poor results in the beginning of Nuorese's 2007-08 Serie C2 campaign (one point in three matches).[5]
