He returned to Italy in 2016 and became manager of Civitanovese on 8 February 2016.[9] He was in charge until the end of the season.

In July 2017, he became manager of Montegiorgio Calcio. He left the club on 8 May 2019.[10] Paci was later announced as manager of Forlì FC for the 2019/20 season.[11]

On 1 July 2022, Paci was announced as the new head coach of Serie C club Pro Vercelli.[15] He was dismissed on 20 February 2023 together with his assistant Roberto Guana.[16]
