On 12 June 2015 Rastelli was hired by newly relegated club Cagliari for their 2015–16 Serie B season.[4][5] He led Cagliari to win the Serie B title, and was consequently confirmed also for the 2016–17 Serie A campaign. He was sacked on 17 October 2017.[6]

On 31 August 2021 he was named new head coach of Serie B club Pordenone.[12] He was however dismissed himself on 16 October 2021, with Pordenone lying at the bottom of the league table, as he failed to turn the club's fortunes.[13]
