Eugenio Corini (born 30 July 1970) is an Italian association football coach and former player. He was also captained as a player in the 1990s. He was last in charge of Palermo.
A talented, dynamic, and hard-working playmaker, he played as an attacking midfielder and deep lying playmaker in midfield, specialising in free kicks, corners, penalty kicks and long passes.
Corini started his career in the Brescia youth squad, but he soon joined the first team, being called to be part it of when just 16 years old, making his debut the following season. He became a regular for the Lombardian team in both 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons, before being noticed and signed by Juventus.
In his first season with Juventus, at just 20 years old, Corini played 25 times and scored one goal.
In 1992–93, Corini was sold to Sampdoria, where he made 24 appearances, and had several injury problems. In the next few years, Corini moved from team to team almost every season (Napoli, Brescia again, and Piacenza) without being able to show his full potential.
In October 1998, Verona loaned him to city rivals Chievo Verona, in Serie B. Corini soon became a mainstay of the team, being named captain and leading his team to an extraordinary promotion to Serie A in 2001, and UEFA Cup qualification the following season, after having been first-placed at the winter break.
