Club career

A centre back with free kick abilities, Dionisi spent most of his career at Serie C2 and Serie D level, with his personal highlight being at Tritium, a club he captained and with whom he won promotion to Lega Pro Prima Divisione and also played in the Italian third tier for a season.

Coaching career

Dionisi retired from active footballing in 2014, immediately being named head coach of Serie D club Olginatese, his final club as a player. He then managed again at Serie D level with Borgosesia from 2015 to 2017, and Fiorenzuola in the 2017–18 season.

He was then named head coach of Serie D club Imolese in 2018, guiding the club to second place in the league. After the club was admitted to Serie C to fill a vacancy, he was confirmed at Imolese, and successfully guided the small club from Emilia-Romagna to a historic third place in the league (the greatest result in the club's history) and a place in the promotion playoffs, where his club was defeated by Piacenza in the semi-finals.

His impressive results with Imolese won him the attentions of Venezia, who appointed him as head coach on 3 July 2019.[1] He will guide the club to Serie B after Venezia was readmitted to the Italian second division in place of Palermo.[2]

gollark: Probably half the performance or worse, plus it only has the A72s and no A55s like this.
gollark: It has A72s, so bad.
gollark: I'm not sure what Rockchip said.
gollark: I'm hoping Rockchip actually release it because I really want one.
gollark: This is quite cool!
