Giancarlo Camolese (born 25 February 1961 in Turin) is an Italian football (soccer) manager, TV sports caster, ex footballer, university lecturer at SUISM in Turin and instructor at the Coverciano Training Centre for players and technical staff.
Following his career as footballer he completed his studies and graduated from Turin University in physical education and sport with a final mark of 110/110 cum laude in 2002.
As midfielder, he began his professional career in the Unione Sportiva San Mauro and then made his first-team debut with Torino in 1974. He played for Biellese, Reggina, Alessandria, Lazio, Padova, Vicenza, Taranto and for Saviglianese at the end of his career. He played a total of 230 matches in Serie C, which is currently Lega Pro, and 141 matches in Serie B for Lazio, Padova and Taranto, while he never made his debut in Serie A having only played for Torino in the Coppa Italia. He rose to fame with Lazio starting from -9 in the 1986-87 season and was promoted into Serie A at the end of the 1987-1988 football season.
He began his coaching career as Saviglianese’s youth coach which was the team in which he had terminated his career as footballer. He was hired by Torino as second coach of the first team managed by Mauro Sandreani and later by Lido Vieri.
In the following season he worked as vice coach for Graeme Souness and then Edy Reya.
In 1998 he took part in the "Supercorso di Coverciano" (super course for coaches) which he passed with flying colours. In 1999 he worked for Torino as coach for the Youth Under 20, which he took to the national football championship finals.
At the end of October 2000 he replaced Gigi Simoni when he was dismissed from the bench leading the team to gain the first position in Serie A . With the Granata team he made his debut in the Serie A by winning the Intertoto qualification.
