Silvio Baldini (born 11 September 1958 in Massa) is an Italian association football manager and the former head coach of Vicenza in the Serie B league.
He started his coaching career in 1984 at the age of 26 with Bagnone, an amateur Seconda Categoria team which he led to immediate promotion in his debut year. In 1988 he became assistant coach of Massese. In 1989 he was appointed at the helm of Promozione team Forte dei Marmi, side he led to promotion in 1991. After a single season with Viareggio, he obtained a professional coaching license and returned to Massese, this time as head coach, in 1992. After four Serie C1 seasons with Siena (1993-1995) and Carrarese (1995-1997), he was chosen to fill the Chievo Verona head coaching position, and led the gialloblu to a final seventh place in the Serie B. He moved to Brescia in 1998, and Empoli one year later. In 2002, Empoli ended in fourth place, being therefore promoted to Serie A. On his Serie A debut year, Baldini led Empoli to a good 12th place. In 2003 he became Palermo boss, with the goal to guide the rosanero to immediate promotion to Serie A; however, he was fired on January 2004 following a 1-3 home defeat to Salernitana. He returned to coach in the 2004-05 season with Parma, being appointed at Renzo Ulivieri's place on September and sacked on December 2004, leaving his side at the second-last place in the Serie A table. On September 2005, he was appointed as Lecce head coach, but was again fired on January 2006. On June 2007 he was announced as new Catania head coach.
