Rolando Maran (born 14 July 1963) is an Italian football manager who is the current head coach of Serie B club Brescia.
His playing career as a defender was spent mostly with Chievo. He then managed several Serie B clubs, and after losing the promotion play-off final with Varese in 2012, had his first Serie A job with Catania.
Maran led Catania to a best-ever 8th place in his first season. Also in the top flight, he had four seasons in charge of Chievo before leading Cagliari from 2018 to 2020.
Playing career[edit]
Maran played for Benacense Riva, Chievo, Valdagno, Carrarese and Fano. He spent nine years at Chievo from 1986 to 1995.[2]
Coaching career[edit]
Serie B[edit]
After retiring as a player in 1997, Maran started his coaching career in 1997 at his former side Chievo as a coach, he joined Brescia as a youth coach in 1998 and stayed there for two years before becoming the youth coach at Cittadella in 2000. Two years later, he became that club's first-team manager.
Maran became manager of newly relegated Serie B club Brescia on 5 July 2005 on a one-year contract.[3] The following 5 March, with the team in 5th, he was replaced by Zdenek Zeman.[4]
He joined Serie B club Bari in 2006, where he was sacked and replaced by Giuseppe Materazzi in February 2007 with the team in 13th.[5]
Maran joined Triestina in June 2007,[6] and two years later he joined fellow Serie B side Vicenza. He helped them avoid relegation. On 15 June 2010, his contract was extended for a further two years, but he was dismissed just under a year later.
In October 2011, Maran joined struggling Varese, replacing Benito Carbone as head coach.[7] He led them to the playoffs; however they lost out on promotion to Serie A to Sampdoria, 4–2 on aggregate.[8]
Serie A years[edit]
On 11 June 2012, Maran joined Serie A club Catania.[9] He took them to 8th place in a record-breaking season where they accrued 56 points from 38 matches. The season also saw Catania take a record number of home wins in one season, its record number of victories overall in a single top flight campaign, as well as its record points total in Serie A for the fifth consecutive season.
Maran was dismissed on 20 October 2013 after a 1–2 loss to Cagliari that left Catania in the relegation zone, and replaced by Luigi De Canio.[10] He returned on 15 January, before being sacked for the second time later on 6 April, after five defeats in a row and with the team bottom of the league.[11]
On 19 October 2014, Maran was named new head coach of former club Chievo, replacing Eugenio Corini.[12] He was sacked on 29 April 2018, weeks before the end of his contract; the team was on the brink of the relegation zone having taken 11 points from the last 21 games.[13]
On 7 June 2018, Maran was appointed manager of Cagliari on a two-year contract.[14] His side won seven of their first 12 games to challenge for a Champions League place in November; the only time the Sardinians had started so well was when they won the league for the only time in 1969–70.[15] This form did not continue into the second half of the season, and on 3 March 2020, he was fired by Cagliari after a run of 12 consecutive games without a league win.[16][17]
On 26 August 2020, Maran signed a two-year contract with Genoa.[18] On 21 December 2020, Maran was sacked.[19]
Back to Serie B: Pisa and Brescia[edit]
On 23 June 2022, Serie B club Pisa announced to have hired Maran as their new head coach.[20] He was however sacked on 19 September 2022, leaving Pisa at the bottom of the league table after six games.[21]
On 14 November 2023, Maran was hired by Brescia as their new head coach for the ongoing season.[22]
