Successively he also coached minor Serie A teams such as Brescia and Treviso with little success.

He became coach of Messina on 30 January 2007, as replacement for Bruno Giordano; he was however sacked about two months later, on 2 April, following a 2–0 defeat to Cagliari. On 22 June 2007, he was announced as the new Frosinone boss,^[1] leading them to a mid-table finish in the club's second Serie B campaign. On 5 June 2008, Frosinone announced it had parted company with Alberto Cavasin.^[2]

On 20 May 2009, he completed a comeback at Brescia, replacing Nedo Sonetti as head coach for the remaining two games of the 2008–09 Serie B regular season, with the aim to lead the rondinelle into the promotion playoffs.^[3] After being sacked by Brescia, on 12 November 2009 he became the manager of AC Bellinzona, a Swiss Super League team. On 2 April 2010, Bellinzona fired the Italian trainer, formerly he coaching Lecce, Fiorentina and Brescia.^[4]

On 7 March 2011, he was named head coach of UC Sampdoria, replacing Domenico Di Carlo for the remainder of the 2010–11 Serie A and was ultimately relegated to Serie B with the team.^[5] In October 2016 he took over at the Football League Two side Leyton Orient.^[6] He was dismissed from his role on 23 November 2016 after ten games in charge with a record of two wins and eight defeats.^{[citation needed]}
