Cuono "Nello" Di Costanzo (born 26 July 1961 in Rome) is an Italian football manager currently of Carrarese and former player, who played as a forward.
A striker, he played in the youth ranks of AC Milan and Napoli, winning also a Campionato Nazionale Primavera title; however, despite this, he spent his whole career in the Italian lower leagues.
In 1995, he started his coaching career with Prima Categoria team Viribus Unitis, which he led to three promotions in four years, leading them to Serie D. He then coached Palmese in 1999–2000 before to return at Viribus Unitis the following season, barely missing the Serie D league title. He was then called in 2001 to coach Gladiator, leading the Santa Maria Capua Vetere-based team to win their Serie D round, thus ensuring them promotion to Serie C2. In 2002, he accepted an offer from then-Serie C1 team Benevento, obtaining an eighth place in his first season but being ultimately sacked in the 2003–2004 mid-season due to poor results. He then led Juve Stabia to a second place in the 2004–2005 Serie C2 before accepting an offer from Venezia. During his two-year spell with the arancioneroverdi, Di Costanzo immediately won the Serie C2 title and narrowly missed a second consecutive promotion the following season, after losing to Pisa in the promotion playoffs.
