Giacomo Modica (born May 31, 1964 in Mazara del Vallo) is an Italian football manager and former midfielder. Formerly a technical collaborator for Zdeněk Zeman, he is currently working as head coach of hometown club Mazara.
Career
As manager
After a playing career spent with several Serie B and Serie C1 teams, most notably Palermo and Padova, he moved into coaching, working as Zdenek Zeman's assistant for six years (even following him at Fenerbahçe) before becoming a head coach himself.[2] In 2004, he worked for Serie D team A.S. Cosenza F.C. with little fortune;[3] he then worked for Serie C2 teams Melfi in 2006 and Celano the following year, leading the latter to an impressive season and a spot in the promotion playoffs.
He agreed a one-year extension to his contract with Celano on July 2010.[4] He left the club at the end of the 2010–11 season, the club citing excessive wage demands as the main reason behind the decision.[5]
On 17 January 2012 he was appointed new head coach of last-placed Lega Pro Seconda Divisione club Lecco in place of dismissed predecessor Maurizio Pellegrino.[6] He avoided direct relegation but eventually failed to keep the club into professionalism after losing a playoff to Mantova, and left the club by the end of the season to reunite with Zdeněk Zeman at Roma, where he will work as technical collaborator for the 2012–13 season.[7][8] After Zeman's dismissal as head coach, he left Roma too, and re-joined his mentor in July 2014 as technical collaborator of Cagliari.[9]
In April 2016 he was named as new head coach of Lega Pro club L'Aquila in place of Carlo Perrone,[10] only to be dismissed himself after less than a month in charge.[11]
On 1 September 2016, Modica was announced as the new head coach of hometown club Mazara, in what was his first time with the club from his native city, as well as his first time in charge of a club in Eccellenza (second-highest level of amateur football in Italy).[12]
