Daniele Santarelli is an Italian volleyball coach whose club and national-team work has placed him at the center of the modern women’s game. In 2026–27 he remains head coach of Prosecco DOC Imoco Conegliano while also leading Türkiye’s women’s national team. The two roles connect a dominant European club program with a national team that has become a consistent contender for the sport’s largest international titles. Santarelli has held the Conegliano head-coaching job since 2017, an unusually long tenure at an elite club.
Under Santarelli, Conegliano developed into one of the defining club teams of its era, winning repeated Italian championships, cups, CEV Champions League titles and FIVB Club World Championships. His national-team path began with Croatia before he took Serbia to the 2022 FIVB World Championship title. He then moved to Türkiye, winning major international trophies and maintaining the team among the world’s leading programs. That progression is notable because it combines long-term club continuity with rapid national-team adaptation. Conegliano gives Santarelli a stable daily environment in which systems can be refined over a full season, while international volleyball demands compressed preparation and changing rosters. His ability to sustain both assignments has become a defining feature of his coaching profile rather than a temporary overlap.
