Vincenzo Cangelosi (born 12 October 1963) is an Italian football coach and former goalkeeper.
A goalkeeper who took his first steps as a youth player for his hometown club Palermo, Cangelosi had a minor career in the Italian leagues for teams such as Kroton, Foggia and Siracusa.[2]
In 1989, Cangelosi retired from active football to join his former youth coach Zdeněk Zeman, who he knows since the age of 11,[3] as his assistant at Foggia.[4]
Since then, Cangelosi consistently worked as Zeman's deputy for over 30 years, until his third coaching stint at Foggia in 2022.
In December 2022, at 59 years of age, Cangelosi took on his first head coaching role, being appointed in charge of Serie D club Casertana. Under his tenure, Casertana finished the season in third place in the Group G, later winning the playoff tournament and successively being readmitted to Serie C to fill a vacancy.[5] He left Casertana by the end of the season after guiding the club to a fourth place in the league table.
