Simone Calori (born 23 July 1980) is an Italian football coach and a former player who played as a defender.

Playing career

Born in Montevarchi, the province of Arezzo, Tuscany, Calori started his career at Serie D club Colligiana. In 1999, he was signed by Cagliari.[citation needed] From 2000 to 2006, Calori spent 6 seasons with Sangiovannese, a team also located in the province of Arezzo. In 2006, he moved to Pisa, Tuscany. Calori played 31 matches in 2006–07 Serie C1. Calori also played all 4 matches in the promotion playoffs, winning promotion back to Serie B.

In July 2007, Calori moved to fellow Serie B club Mantova. He only played 18 games in 2007–08 Serie B, including 7 starts.[1] On 25 June 2008, 5 days before the closure of 2007–08 financial year, Calori and Valerio Di Cesare were swapped with Mattia Marchesetti and Riccardo Fissore.[2] Calori also re-joined former Pisa team-mate Giovanni Passiglia at Vicenza. Both Mantova and Vicenza valued the players for €1.5 million, also signing 3-year contract.[2][3] Di Cesare was valued €1,000,000, Calori for €500,000; Marchesetti €1,000,000 and Fissore €500,000.[3]

Calori failed to make his league debut for Vicenza. In January 2009 Calori left for Perugia of Lega Pro Prima Divisione in temporary deal.[4] In the next season Calori left for another third division club Taranto along with Julián Magallanes.[5]

In summer 2010, Vicenza sold Calori to Pisa for free (along with Passiglia) and Di Cesare to Torino for just €250,000. The club had to write-down the residual value of the contracts partially or in full.[nb 1]

Calori was signed by Serie D club Salerno in summer 2011.[7] The club finished as the Group G winner and directly promoted back to the fourth division – the lowest level of the professional league.

In December 2012 he was signed by Giacomense.[8]

Coaching career

On 28 April 2019, Serie D club Sangiovannese that he was playing for at the time, announced that he has been appointed the head coach of the team.[9] He was sacked on 21 January 2020 after six defeats in a row.[10]
