His management career began at Virtus Lanciano, where he was fired in January 2009.
He joined hometown club Pescara as technical director of the youth academy, but was promoted to Coach in January 2010 to replace Antonello Cuccureddu.
As he took them to promotion into Serie B via the play-offs, Di Francesco was kept on in the role.
