*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Giovanni Cusatis (born 1 February 1967) is a retired Italian football player, now a coach, currently in charge of Serie C club Alcione.
Cusatis began playing football in Pro Lissone, in Lombardia regional leagues; he spent almost all of his career in Serie C1 and C2.
He played both as a center midfielder and winger.
In 2005, he entered Giacomo Gattuso's staff; then he trained Caronnese and later joined Attilio Lombardo at Legnano.
In 2011–12 he had been hired by Pro Patria as head coach: the team, which had to recuperate an 11 points-deduction due to financial irregularities, ended the tournament at a remarkable 7th place (could have been the winner if it wasn't for the amends).[4]
In 2012–13 season he signed for Alessandria, in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.[5]
On 18 December 2013, Cusatis was confirmed as one of Giuseppe Sannino's new assistant coaches at Watford.[6]
In 2021, Cusatis took over at Alcione in the Serie D league; with them, he ended the club's 2022–23 Serie D campaign in second place, and then won the resulting playoff tournament; the club however was not admitted to Serie C in the end due to stadium regulations.
