Gustavo Iván Coleoni (born 16 August 1968) is an Argentine football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current manager of San Miguel.
Coleoni is nicknamed Sapito (Little Frog) due to his small height and his jumps to avoid his opponents.[1]
After only playing two friendlies in the first team, Coleoni resumed his career with Peru's San Agustín and Chile's Magallanes, aside from lower league sides in his native region.[4]
Managerial career
After retiring Coleoni took up coaching in 1997, being initially a coordinator of his first club Talleres' youth sides and later being their manager. In 2003 he moved to Racing de Córdoba; initially a general coordinator, he was manager of the club's youth categories in 2004, and subsequently became their first team manager in 2006.[5]
On 3 June 2008, Coleoni returned to Juventud Antoniana.[7] He narrowly missed out promotion to Primera B Nacional in his two seasons in charge, and later moved to Juventud Unida Universitario in July 2010 as a general coordinator.
In September 2010, Coleoni was named at the helm of Central Norte.[8] The following 21 February, he was named in charge of former side Talleres, with the club in the Torneo Argentino A.[9]
In June 2011, Coleoni returned to Racing de Córdoba as first team manager.[10] Roughly one year later, he was appointed at the helm of Santamarina,[11] before returning to Central Norte in 2013.[12]
On 17 March 2020, Coleoni resigned from the Ferroviarios.[19] On 30 December, the club announced his return, effective as after the ending of the 2020 Copa de la Liga Profesional.[20]
