He successively accepted an offer from Mestre for the 2016–17 season, managing to win promotion to Lega Pro with the club. After a good Serie C season, he was subsequently hired by Bari in what turned out to be a short-lived experience with the Apulians; after going to the pre-season camp with the squad, he was released together with all the players following the club's exclusion from professional football due to financial debts.[2]

Later in August 2018, he was unveiled as the inaugural head coach of Juventus U23 after it was admitted in the Serie C as the very first reserve team to ever take part to the professional leagues of Italy.[3] He left the club on 24 May 2019 after completing the Serie C season with the club.[4]
