Bruno Luzi (born 30 May 1965) is a French professional football manager and former player who played as a forward. He is heavily associated with Chambly, a club founded and run by his family, having seen five promotions with them as a player, and four as a manager in 30 years at the club.

Managerial career

Luzi joined his family-run club FC Chambly as a footballer in 1989, the year it was founded.[2] He became the manager in 2001, taking over the reins from his brother. In 2019, Luzi helped Chambly get promoted into the French Ligue 2.[3] On 1 May 2020, he resigned from his post, stating it was time for the club to look at something else.[4] On 7 May 2020, he reversed his decision, stating he would stay due to the expressions of support from staff, players and supporters.[5] The club was relegated back to Championnat National at the end of the 2020–21 season.

Luzi was dismissed from his post by the club on 2 April 2022, after 3 draws and 6 losses in the previous 9 games, and last place in the Championnat National table. He served 21 years as the head coach.[6]

Personal life

Luzi was born in France and is of Italian descent. His father, Walter Luzi, was founder of FC Chambly and president for nine years.[7] His brother, Fulvio Luzi, was the manager of the club when Luzi was playing at the club, and is currently the president.[8]
