Diego Bortoluzzi (born 23 September 1966) is an Italian professional football coach, currently in charge as head coach of Palermo in the Serie A league.
Coming from the renowned youth system of Atalanta, Bortoluzzi made his senior debut in the Serie A league on 17 March 1985, in a game against Napoli. He was successively loaned out to Piacenza (Serie B) and L.R. Vicenza (Serie C1) before leaving Atalanta for good to join rivals Brescia. After a single season back at Serie C1 level with Pro Sesto, he joined Venezia in 1991, playing five full Serie B seasons with the club. He then remarkably played five seasons at Treviso as key player and also team captain, before retiring in 2003 after a short stint with amateurs Conegliano.
In January 2004, Francesco Guidolin appointed Bortoluzzi as his assistant coach at Palermo, with whom he oversaw a historic promotion to Serie A over 30 years after the Rosanero's last top flight appearance.
He left Palermo on the summer of 2005, following Guidolin's departure, to become youth coach of his former playing club Treviso, who were just promoted to the top flight for their very first time. He was successively appointed new head coach in February 2006, following Alberto Cavasin's dismissal and with just 14 points in the league, failing to save the team from relegation. Despite that, he was confirmed for the following Serie B season, only to be fired on 5 November after managing to achieve only ten points in the first ten league games.
