Coaching career

Trani began coaching at the Victorian Premier League and National Soccer League levels with the Fawkner Blues, Essendon Royals, Whittlesea Stallions, Brisbane Strikers and the Melbourne Knights[3]. He then took up roles as a coaching instructor for Football Federation Victoria and Head Coach of Pascoe Vale FC, before joining Wellington Phoenix.[4] He then transferred to a job at Adelaide United where he joined as Assistant coach and was the Acting Coach [5][6][7]

On 23 August, 2012, Trani had left his post at Adelaide United after rejecting a reshuffle into a youth coaching role.[8] Trani was officially announced as the new assistant coach of Brisbane Roar FC on 8 August 2013.[9] After a title-winning season with Brisbane Roar, he moved to take up the same role at league rivals Melbourne City FC in May 2014.[10][11]

In May 2016, Trani parted ways with Melbourne City FC.[12]

One month later, he joined the Newcastle Jets as their assistant coach.[13] However, he was sacked so as to resolve internal issues between himself and the head coach, Scott Miller.[14]

Trani returned to management in October 2017, when he took up a role as senior head coach of National Premier Leagues Victoria 2 side North Geelong Warriors FC.[15] Trani resigned from his position on 7 May 2018.[16]

Trani joined Belgian First Division A club Sint-Truidense V.V. as an assistant coach in 2020.[17]
