Valerio Fiori (born 27 April 1969) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper and current goalkeeping coach. He is currently a goalkeeping coach for Serie A club Genoa.

Career

Before being the third goalkeeper at A.C. Milan, he played for Lodigiani (one season), Lazio (six seasons), Cagliari (three seasons), Cesena, Fiorentina and Piacenza (1 season each). Though he made four appearances for Italy's Under-21 squad, Fiori was never called up for the senior side.

He has made only two official appearances in eight seasons with the club: a 4–2 loss in Serie A to Piacenza on 24 May 2003, and a 1–0 Coppa Italia win over Sampdoria as a first half injury replacement for Christian Abbiati on 18 December 2003.

After his retirement in 2008, Fiori became a goalkeeping coach at A.C. Milan until 2016.^[1] After a brief interlude with the Chinese side Shenzhen, and then Spanish side Deportivo La Coruña, a club coached by former teammate Clarence Seedorf, Milan announced the return of Fiori as goalkeeper coach on 5 July 2018.^[2] In August 2020, he was appointed as Napoli goalkeeper coach.

Personal life

Fiori graduated with a bachelor's degree in law from University of Rome La Sapienza on 12 July 2007.^[3]

+Before being the third goalkeeper at [[A.C. Milan]], he played for [[A.S. Lodigiani|Lodigiani]] (one season), [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] (six seasons), [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] (three seasons), [[A.C.

Milan vice-president [[Adriano Galliani]] stated that Fiori's lengthy stint at the club, despite his lack of playing time, was due to his professional conduct.
