Coaching career

edit

On 13 April 2016, Milani announced his retirement. He was then hired as a technical coach for U.S. Latina Calcio under manager Vincenzo Vivarini. He left alongside Vivarini in June 2017 and then became his assistant at Empoli F.C. less than a month later.[3] In the summer 2018, he followed Vivarini to Ascoli and became his technical coach once again.[4] Vivarini and his team left Ascoli in the summer 2019 and in September 2019, they were hired at S.S.C. Bari, once again with Milani as his assistant coach.[5] In November 2020 he once again took an assistant manager position under Vivarini, signing with Virtus Entella.[6] During the following season, Vivarini and Milani replaced Antonio Calabro and his team at US Catanzaro in Serie C.[7] Catanzaro would narrowly miss out on promotion losing in the playoff series. In 2022–23 however, Catanzaro topped Group C and earned direct promotion into Serie B.
