Playing career

Filippi started his career with his hometown amateur club, Partinico Audace. In 1996, he moved into professionalism with then-Serie C2 club Ternana. In 1999, he was signed by Serie B club Treviso, playing three seasons as a regular for the Venetians (two of which were in the Italian second division).

He successively spent a number of seasons with different teams at Serie C1 and Serie C2 level until joining Trapani of Serie D in 2009; with Trapani, he won three promotions, all the way up to Serie B, as team captain under the management of Roberto Boscaglia. He retired in 2013, after winning promotion to Serie B.[2]

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, he accepted to stay at Trapani as a youth coach for the Allievi team. In 2015, he was called by his former manager Roberto Boscaglia as his assistant at Brescia.[3]

Successively, Filippi followed Boscaglia on all of his later coaching jobs at Novara, Brescia for a second time, Virtus Entella and, in 2020, Palermo.

On 27 February 2021, Filippi was promoted to head coach of Palermo after the Rosanero board decided to sack Boscaglia from his role.[4] Under his tenure in the second half of the 2020–21 Serie C season, results significantly improved and Palermo manage to qualify to the promotion playoffs, from where they were eliminated in the third round by third-placed Avellino. These positive results led Palermo to confirm that Filippi was also in charge of the first team for the following 2021–22 Serie C season.[5] He was dismissed from his position on 24 December 2021, following a 0–2 loss against Latina that left Palermo in fifth place, eleven points behind league leaders Bari.[6]

On 1 July 2022, Filippi was announced as the new head coach of Serie C club Viterbese, signing a one-year deal with the club.[7] He was dismissed on 14 November 2022 following a negative start of the season.[8]

On 15 February 2024, Filippi was hired as the new head coach of Serie C club Recanatese.[9]
