Marco Gaburro is known for his hidden achievements, having coached five teams from Serie D to Serie C in Italy. Here, he shares the important stages of his career, trials, and lessons learned in football.
It's not just the big names that make up football's story—often, it's in the hidden achievements that the real inspiration lies. One of them is the story of Marco Gaburro, nicknamed Mister Promotion because he lifted his team five times from Serie D to Serie C in Italy.
Gaburro shared his story on Marco Piccari's "Storie di Calcio" program on Tuttomercatoweb radio. Born in Verona in 1973, he started coaching football at Pescantina when he was just 18 years old.
Gaburro first achieved success in Poggese in 2001. He has successively dominated in Gozzano (2018), Lecco (2019), Rimini (2022), and Desenzano (2026). According to Gaburro, "Even though I've been able to win Serie D five times, it's always like the first time." He said it was a big challenge because only one person can climb every year, so every win seems like another victory.
In Desenzano, he was tasked with leading the newly formed team to break into the professional ranks, something he happily achieved two years later. "When we won against Imola when there was not enough people and the two rivals lost, that's when I proved that the dream is within reach," said Gaburro.

Gaburro also shared the challenges, such as dealing with serious injuries to some players that forced them to change their strategy in the second half of the season. He said he was very grateful for the determination of his group.
Nor did Gaburro escape the memory of rising names such as Genoa's Junior Messias, who he first touched in Serie D. "I didn't think he would reach the highest level of football," he said, "but I saw the potential and I was surprised at how quickly he rose."
Even if there were regrets, like going to Olbia after Rimini, Gaburro maintained that it is important to decide according to the feelings of the person at the time. "I didn't turn down Livorno—we talked, but maybe it would be better if I just went back to D."
Gaburro ended the interview by saying "Since I was only 18 years old, I chose to be a coach. I have no other desired profession, but I consider cooking and writing also delicious. But my real story is still being written. In 26 years, I have coached 600 games in Serie D, more than 100 in Serie C, in addition to the youth years. I hope this is not my consecration—meaning I still have a lot to overcome."
