Playing career

Mignani made his Serie A debut on 13 January 1991, against U.S. Lecce. He then went on to spend 10 seasons with Siena, being the team captain during the club's first Serie A campaign and one of the mainstays for the Tuscans. He left in 2006, and his #4 jersey number was retired by Siena as a homage.

Coaching career

He retired in 2009 to return to Siena as a youth coach, originally for the Allievi Nazionali and since 2010 for the main youth team, the Primavera under-19 squad.[1]

He then served as head coach of Olbia for the club's 2016–17 Lega Pro campaign, being relieved of his managerial duties on 5 March 2017 following a string of six consecutive losses.[2]

On 25 November 2019 he was hired by Serie C club Modena.[3]
