Giuseppe Iachini (born 7 May 1964 in Ascoli Piceno) is an Italian football coach and former player. He is currently head coach of Serie B side Piacenza Calcio since 2004.
Iachini started his playing career at Ascoli, and made his Serie A and professional debut in 1981/1982, at the age of 17. He played for Ascoli until 1987, when he signed for Verona.
In 1989, Iachini moved to Fiorentina and played five seasons with the viola, four of them in Serie A. From 1994 to 1996 he played for Palermo of Serie B. After a single Serie B season with Ravenna, in 1997 Iachini transferred to Venezia, where he played for three years, two of them in Serie A. He retired in 2001, after a Serie C1 season with Alessandria.
Iachini started his coaching career in October 2001, when he was called to coach Venezia of Serie A, despite not having been in possession of a coaching license yet. Assisted by "official" head coach Alfredo Magni, Iachini left his position as assistant coach at Piacenza in order to join Venezia, in spite of the Italian football laws, and was successively disqualified for six months because of that. In the end, Venezia relegated to Serie B.
In 2002/2003, Iachini coached Cesena of Serie C1, leading his team to a spot in the promotion playoffs. In 2003/2004, Iachini moved at Vicenza of Serie B, where he coached a team composed mostly by youngsters and led them to a mid-table place. He is now coaching Piacenza, always in Serie B, since 2004 with good results.
