Rita Guarino (born 31 January 1971 in Turin) is an Italian football manager, former player, and author. As of 2017, she is head coach of Juventus Women and in May 2018 led the team to a Serie A championship.[1] She previously played for Italy's national team. In 2017, she co-authored the book, Train in women's football. Technical, tactical, physical aspects and estimates.[2]
Playing career
Throughout her career she played as a striker for Juventus FCF, Torino CF, Reggiana CF, ASD Fiammamonza, Torres CF, SS Lazio and Foroni Verona in Serie A, and Maryland Pride in the W-League.[3]
She was a member of the Italian national team, and took part in the 1991 and 1999 World Cups[4] and the 1993, 1997 and 2001 European Championships. She scored Italy's last goal in the 1991 World Cup, forcing the extra time in the quarterfinals against Norway. She again scored a tier against Norway in the 2001 Euro.[5]
Coaching career
Since 2015, Guarino has served as Italy's under-17 national team's assistant manager[6] and Manager of Footballab – Individual Training System.[7]
On 16 June 2017, Guarino was appointed head coach of Juventus Women.[8] She led the team to their first ever Scudetto: both Juventus and Brescia finished the season tied at 60 points atop the League thus making a tie-breaker necessary.
On 20 May 2018 in Novara Juventus beat Brescia 5-4 at penalty shoot-out winning the championship following their debut season in the league.[9]
