Stefano Vecchi (born 20 July 1971) is a retired Italian professional footballer turned coach, currently in charge as youth coach of the reserves of Serie A club Inter Milan.
A Inter Milan youth product, Vecchi had a unremarkable career as a central midfielder in the lower leagues of Italian football, not going any further than Serie C1 and narrowly missing a historical promotion to Serie B during his stint at Fiorenzuola. He retired in 2005.
After his retirement, Vecchi took a coaching career starting from the amateur leagues of Lombardy. He had a breakthrough during his two-year period at Tritium, leading the small club from Trezzo sull'Adda to two consecutive promotion from Serie D to Lega Pro Prima Divisione before accepting an offer from fallen giants SPAL, a former team of his as a player; however, this season, characterized by financial and off-field issues, ended with a relegation to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.
He successively took another coaching role at Südtirol, reaching the promotion playoffs on his only season. This won him interest from Serie B club Carpi, who offered him their managerial spot despite his lack of valid coaching badges to serve as head coach in the second division of Italy. His stint at Carpi was however cut short on March 2014, when he was removed from managerial duties due to disappointing results.
In the summer of 2014, he joined Inter Milan's non-playing staff as coach of the Primavera under-19 team, which he led to victory at 2015 Torneo di Viareggio and 2016 Coppa Italia Primavera.
