Francisco Meneghini Correa (born 13 August 1988) is an Argentine football manager.[1] He is currently in charge of Universidad de Chile.
Meneghini began his career joining the technical staff of Marcelo Bielsa in the Chile national team, as an analyst; he was initially recommended by Bielsa's daughter Inés, who was his classmate.[2] After remaining in the staff under Jorge Sampaoli, he became the assistant coach of Sebastián Beccacece in Defensa y Justicia in 2016.[2]
On 9 November 2018, Meneghini returned to Chile after being appointed manager of Unión La Calera in the top division.[3] He remained in charge until 16 September 2019, when he was sacked after a loss to Deportes Antofagasta.[4]

On 17 December 2021, Everton de Viña del Mar announced Meneghini as their manager for the upcoming season.[9] He led the side to a qualification to the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, but was sacked on 10 March of that year.[10]
