Coaching career
In 1999 Cecconi was appointed as Empoli Primavera youth squad coach, winning a Torneo di Viareggio in 2000. He left Empoli in 2003, being appointed one year later as Prato head coach and serving in the four initial matchdays of the 2004-05 Serie C1 season, all ended in a defeat for his side.[1]
He then worked alongside Renzo Ulivieri at Bologna in 2005, and again during the 2006–07 season, and successively replaced him in April 2007, serving as caretaker head coach in the two remaining months of their Serie B campaign.
