Playing career
Cucciari played 3 seasons in the Serie A for A.S. Roma, A.C. Siena and F.C. Messina. He won promotion to Serie A on 4 different occasions (Verona 1990–91, Lecce 1996–97, Perugia 1997–98 and Sampdoria 2002–03). Curiously enough, on all 4 occasions he left the team he won the promotion with in the following off-season, before playing for them in the top flight.
Coaching career
In 2013, he took his first coaching role as boss of Eccellenza amateurs Terracina, guiding them to Serie D promotion through playoffs. He then took over at Serie D club Lupa Roma, immediately guiding them to a historical promotion to Lega Pro on his first season in charge. He resigned on 31 October 2015, after achieving only one point in the first nine Lega Pro games. On 29 December 2015, he was reappointed as Lupa Roma coach in place of Agenore Maurizi, but failed to reverse the club's fortunes and was eventually sacked on 17 April 2016.
