Gaetano D'Agostino (Italian pronunciation: [ɡaeˈtaːno daɡoˈstiːno]; born 3 June 1982) is an Italian former professional football midfielder and current coach. Usually a playmaker, D'Agostino is best known for his incisive passing. He is the head coach of Serie C club Vibonese.
Club career[]
Early career[]
D'Agostino was brought up in the Palermo youth system,[citation needed] in Roma youth system only for two seasons because he was progressing enormously and,[citation needed] in 2001, went to Bari with co-ownership rights as part of the deal that brought Antonio Cassano to Roma. He was tagged for 5 billion Italian lire for 50% of the rights.[2] He then came back to Roma for €1,291,142[3] and signed a new three-year contract in June 2003 in but did not figure much.[citation needed]
Messina[]
In January 2005 he was loaned to Messina on loan with option to sign in co-ownership deal for €750,000.[4][5] In half a season at Messina, he made 42 appearances and scored 4 goals, being instrumental for the club's impressive performances in the Serie A league, including a seventh place in 2004–05, the best top flight placement in Messina history.
In June 2006 Messina bought the remaining rights for €60,000.[6]
Udinese[]
On 7 July 2006, he was bought by Udinese for a reported €1.2 million,[7] where he firmly established himself as a regular, also achieving a place in the Italian national team during his stay with the Friuli-based side. He made sensational performances during the 2008–2009 Serie A season.
Fiorentina[]
On 3 June 2010, he was sold to Fiorentina[8] for a reported fee between €9 and 10 million.[9][10] La Viola later announced they signed him in a co-ownership deal,[11] for €5.75 million.[12] He made his debut on 29 August 2010, scoring Fiorentina's only goal in a 1–1 draw at home against Napoli.
After the injury of Riccardo Montolivo, D'Agostino partnered with Marco Donadel as the central midfielders.
Joining Siena via Udinese[]
In the middle of 2011, D'Agostino returned to Udinese after they won his 50% rights in a blind auction, Udinese winning with a bid of €110,000 to €50,000. D'Agostino said that “It still hurts a little that Fiorentina didn’t keep me,” and expressed his desire to remain in Florence, having earlier said he loved living in the city. On 7 July, Siena agreed a deal to sign the playmaker.[13]
He left Siena at the end of the 2013–14 season, after the club declared bankruptcy.
International career[]
D'Agostino was a member of the Italian U-21 squad, making 17 appearances and scoring 4 goals.
He received his first senior call-up in November 2008, but did not play, making his debut on 6 June 2009 in a friendly match against Northern Ireland.
Coaching career[]
After retirement, he took over a head coaching role at Serie D amateurs Anzio in 2016.
In June 2017 he was named new head coach of Lega Pro club Virtus Francavilla.[14] On 12 June 2018, he was appointed as coach of Alessandria, signing a two-year contract.[15] He left the club on 17 February 2019.[16]
On 4 October 2019, he was hired as head coach of Serie C club Lecco.[17]
On 27 June 2021, he joined Vibonese.[18]
