Technical Centre has been a great asset of the Italian Football Association for
more than 50 years. Since its first days Coverciano has been the home of the
Association’s Settore Tecnico (Technical Department). This Department is
responsible for the education and training of coaches, fitness coaches, sports
directors, physiotherapists and football physicians.

training and match preparation.
