As coach:
Matteo Boniciolli, born 18 April 1962 is an Italian basketball coach for Fortitudo Bologna in the Serie A2.
He has been a head coach since 1999, guiding several clubs in Italy and abroad to titles, also having taken charge of the Italian national team (as an assistant) and the Kazakhstan national team.
The Trieste native started his career in his home town with local clubs, as assistant coach or in charge of youth squads. In the same city he encountered Bogdan Tanjević, who would help him join the Italian national team setup as coach of the Under-17 team and assistant coach of the senior side. In that latter role he would be part of the team's run to the EuroBasket 1999 gold medal.
He then moved to club coaching as head coach of Snaidero Udine in the second division Serie A2 in 1999. He led the Fruili side to the first division Serie A in his first season there, finishing seventh in the league the next year and earning a playoff spot.
These performances caught the eye of Fortitudo Bologna who recruited him in 2001. With Fortitudo he would win the regular season in 2001-2002 but lost in the playoff finals. He was dismissed the next season after a run of poor results.
He started the 2003-04 season at the helm of Sicilia Messina but left after 16 games due to struggles on and off the pitch for the club.
The Italian then moved abroad, joining Telindus Oostende of the Belgian League the same year. He reached the Belgian Cup final and the league semifinal the same year. However he was dismissed by the Belgians in April 2005.
