He then took over at Serie D club Lupa Roma, immediately guiding them to a historical promotion to Lega Pro on his first season in charge. He resigned on 31 October 2015, after achieving only one point in the first nine Lega Pro games. On 29 December 2015, he was reappointed as Lupa Roma coach in place of Agenore Maurizi, but failed to reverse the club's fortunes and was eventually sacked on 17 April 2016.
