Andrea Stramaccioni (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛːa stramatˈtʃoːni]; born 9 January 1976) is an Italian football manager and former player who was most recently manager of Greek club Panathinaikos.

A football coach with experiences as youth coach of Roma and Internazionale, he was appointed in charge of first team duties on 26 March 2012 to replace Claudio Ranieri. He is also a 2010 law graduate.

A former defender, his playing career was cut short by a serious knee injury while with Bologna in the 1994–95 season.

He graduated in law at La Sapienza University of Rome, the largest Italian university. After retiring as a footballer, Stramaccioni went on to become a football coach for a number of amateur youth teams. At age 25, he won a provincial title with Rome-based youth team Az Sport, then being hired by Romulea where he worked until 2005. Stramaccioni obtained the licence for youth coaches in 2003.

In 2005, Stramaccioni joined the youth coaching staff at Roma, winning two national titles: Giovanissimi Nazionali in 2007 and Allievi Nazionali in 2010. On 9 May 2009, Stramaccioni obtained a UEFA A coaching licence (Italy second category licence), made him eligible to work as a head coach of Lega Pro teams or as a vice-coach of Serie A and Serie B clubs. Stramaccioni, however, did not have a UEFA Pro Licence (Italy first category licence), he could only work as a care-taker in the first and second division of Italy. On that day, Roberto Samaden, Inter youth academy director since 2006, also obtained the same licence. Samaden met Stramaccioni in the course and gave Stramaccioni a job in Inter two years later.
