Giovanni Cusatis (born 1 February 1967) is a retired Italian football player, now a coach, currently in charge of Serie C Group A club Alcione.
Playing career
Cusatis began playing football in Pro Lissone, in Lombardia regional leagues; he spent almost all of his career in Serie C1 and C2.
He played both as a center midfielder and winger.
Coaching career
In 2005, he entered Giacomo Gattuso's staff; then he trained Caronnese and later joined Attilio Lombardo at Legnano.
In 2011–12 he had been hired by Pro Patria as head coach: the team, which had to recuperate an 11 points-deduction due to financial irregularities, ended the tournament at a remarkable 7th place (could have been the winner if it wasn't for the amends).
In 2012–13 season he signed for Alessandria, in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.
On 18 December 2013, Cusatis was confirmed as one of Giuseppe Sannino's new assistant coaches at Watford.
In 2021, Cusatis took over at Alcione in the Serie D league. With them, he ended the club's 2022–23 Serie D campaign in second place and then won the resulting playoff tournament; however, the club was not admitted to Serie C in the end due to stadium regulations. He then won promotion to Serie C in 2024, being successively confirmed for Alcione's debut season in professionalism.
