*Club domestic league appearances and goals
Giuseppe Raffaele (born 5 December 1975) is an Italian professional association
football coach, currently in charge of Serie C Group C club Potenza.[2]

Playing career
Raffaele's playing career was amassed entirely in the amateur leagues of Sicily and
Calabria as a striker, and started in 1991 at Marsala. Then he played for Igea
Virtus, Sciacca, Sancataldese, Locri, Vittoria, Monturanese, Castrovillari and
Scalea. In 2006 he retired due to a serious injury.[3]

Coaching career
He started his coaching career in 2006 with small Sicilian amateurs Due Torri,
which he led in 2011 up to the national promotion playoff finals of the Eccellenza
league.

After a season at Eccellenza level with Akragas, in 2013 he guided Orlandina to win
promotion to Serie D. After being sacked in February 2014, he was hired in December
2014 by Igea Virtus, the club from his hometown, which he guided to win promotion
to Serie D by the end of the season.

He stayed on as a Igea Virtus head coach until 2018, after which he was hired by
ACR Messina, with whom however he did not even start the season. Later in October
2018 he was instead given his first professional job, as the new head coach of
Serie C's Potenza, guiding the Rossoblu to a fifth and fourth place in the two
seasons in charge of the club.[4]

He was subsequently hired as new head coach of Catania for the 2020–21 season.[3]
However, he was sacked on 18 March 2021 following a string of negative results.[5]
On 4 October 2021, Raffaele took over as the new head coach of Serie C club
Viterbese, replacing Alessandro Dal Canto.[6] He was sacked himself a month later,
on 7 November 2021, due to poor results.[7]

On 25 October 2022, he returned to Potenza, agreeing a contract until 30 June 2023

with an option to extend it for one more year.[8]
