Carmine Nunziata (born 22 July 1967) is an Italian football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current manager of the Italy national under-21 team.

Playing career

Born in San Gennaro Vesuviano, Nunziata played youth football for Inter Milan. He made his first team debut on 6 May 1986, coming on as a half-time substitute for Cristiano Pozzoni in a 2–0 Coppa Italia away loss against Roma.

After only one further cup match for Inter,[2] Nunziata left for Serie C1 side Virescit Boccaleone in 1986. He moved to fellow league team Pavia in the following year, suffering relegation to Serie C2 in his first season.

In 1989, Nunziata signed for Foggia in the Serie B. He moved to Padova in the same division in the following year, achieving promotion to the Serie A in 1994.[3]

In 1996, Nunziata agreed to a contract with Torino in the second level, and featured regularly before moving to Brescia in 1998. In 2000, after losing his starting spot, he joined Montichiari in the fourth tier.

In 2001, after a short period at Alzano Virescit, Nunziata joined Seregno in the Serie D. He subsequently played for Pievigina in the same division, and retired with the club in 2003 at the age of 36.

Managerial career

Immediately after retiring, Nunziata started his managerial career with Arzachena in the Serie D.[4] He was subsequently in charge of Alghero[5][6] and Salò[7] before returning to Arzachena in 2008.

On 26 June 2009, Nunziata was appointed in charge of Seregno, with the club now in the Eccellenza Lombardy, but was sacked on 25 September.[8] He worked in the youth sides of AC Milan during the 2010–11 season,[9] before being named assistant of Devis Mangia in the Italy national under-21 team.

Nunziata continued to work as an assistant of the under-21 side in the following years, now behind Luigi Di Biagio. On 4 August 2017, he was appointed in charge of the under-17 team.[10]

In 2019, Nunziata was an interim manager of both the under-19[11] and under-18 sides,[12] being in charge of the former in the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. After returning to the under-17s, he was appointed manager of the under-19 team in July 2020.[13]

On 22 July 2022, Nunziata took over the under-20 team, changing roles with Alberto Bollini.[14] In the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, he led Italy to the final, as the team eventually lost to Uruguay.[15][16]

After the tournament, on 4 August 2023 he was appointed as the new under-21 team manager, replacing Paolo Nicolato.[17]
