Coaching career

Vitucci began his career as a basketball coach with the Reyer Venezia's youth team, and at the same time he was the assistant coach for seven years on the senior team of Venice. He later became the head coach of the team and achieved the promotion to Serie A in 1996.

After the bankruptcy of the club he went to Andrea Costa Imola. He took part of the Korać Cup and the Saporta Cup.

In 2003 he became assistant coach of Benetton Treviso, and stayed for seven years.

On June 7 2012, Vitucci became the head coach of Pallacanestro Varese signing a contract for two seasons. Varese won the 2012–13 regular season with 46 points (23 victories and 7 defeats), but in the playoffs they were eliminated by Montepaschi Siena (4–3 in the series) at the semifinals.
