Playing career
editAgostini joined Cagliari in January 2004.[1] He renewed his contract in 2006 (to 2009);[2] in 2008 (to 2011).[3]
Coaching career
editHe was appointed head coach of the Under-19 squad of Cagliari for the 2020–21 season.[4] In July 2021, he obtained a UEFA A coaching license.[5]
On 2 May 2022, following Walter Mazzarri's dismissal from his role as Cagliari head coach with three games to go, Agostini was appointed caretaker manager in an attempt to overturn the club's fortunes.[6][7] However, Agostini failed to save Cagliari from relegation, and left the position by the end of the season after the club chose to appoint Fabio Liverani as their new permanent manager. He mutually rescinded his contract with Cagliari shortly thereafter.[8]
On 6 January 2023, Agostini was announced as the new Under-19 youth coach of Genoa, replacing Alberto Gilardino following the appointment of the latter as the new first-team head coach.[9]
On 5 June 2024, Agostini was named head coach of Serie C club Pontedera.[10] He was sacked on 5 October 2024 after a negative start of the season.[11]
