PROFESSIONAL SKILLS

Coaching –having trained teams at almost all professional levels, from the youth program of Torino to various teams within the Italian National Junior Team structure, I feel able to lead any team, at any professional level.

Management - I started my footballing experience at Torino, developed in their youth academy, and I had the good fortune of playing for some great trainers of their time. When I became a professional player, I was trained by great coaches (some of whom being coaches of the Italian National Team), such as: Bearzot, G. Fabbri, M. Fabbri, Cadè, Toneatto, Giagnoni, Vinicio, Pesaola.

As a trainer, I had the opportunity to build teams together with presidents and team chief executives of the time, thus dealing directly and indirectly with the technical and economic valuations of players. In this capacity, I was able to ascertain how important the scouting team is, an area which I consider if utmost strategic importance to a club. Following my club experience, I worked within the Italian National Junior Team structure (as detailed in my CV) and in that capacity I developed an ever stronger conviction of how important the search and identification of young talent is for a team.

Leadership – I have been able to manage every technical area in a football club: Youth, Scouting, and First Teams.

Effective Communication – The experience gathered over all my years of football has allowed me to understand in detail all problems linked to a club’s management, and thus to seek simple but straightforward communication across all area of operation in a football club.

PRESS PUBLICATIONS

“ I have had three fundamental coaches in my career, three that have always believed in me and have always made me play, to the point that I will never be able to repay such trust; Rampanti, Mondonico and Maldini. (Christian Vieri, Tuttosport, 31st January 2002)

“Rampanti is an exceptional person, he has taught me so much, taught me 80% of the things I know what to do on the pitch” (Christian Vieri, Tuttosport, 31st January 2002)
