Arturo Di Napoli (born 18 April 1974) is an Italian football coach and former player, who played as a striker. He was last in charge as head coach of Messina, and had previously coached Maltese club Vittoriosa Stars, as well as Italian sides Rieti, Riccione, and Savona.
Di Napoli started his career in minor Italian clubs, before being picked up by Napoli when Freddy Rincón's loan deal expired. Di Napoli scored five times for the Neapolitans, before being sold to Internazionale, where he was unable to make an impact.
In 1998, he was signed by Empoli on loan. In June 1999, he was signed by Piacenza for 7 billion Italian lire.
In January 2005, his contract with Messina was extended to summer 2008.
After Messina went bankrupt, Siena signed him on free transfer and loaned him to Salernitana. He guided the Campanian side to promotion in the Italian Serie B, and was acquired half of the registration rights on July 2008. In his Serie B season with Salernitana, he provided 13 goals, being instrumental into guiding his side into their relegation escape.
On September 2009, he left Salernitana by mutual consent in order to return to Messina, joining the giallorossi, now in Serie D, on a free transfer with the aim to guide them back into professionalism.
