In the 1992–93 season, Iaconi started his coaching career with
Serie C1 club
Sambenedettese. In 1994, he moved to
Taranto, leading his side to become
Serie D champions, but being sacked in the following season. In 1996, he moved to Serie C1 club
Trapani, but failed to help the club avoid relegation, ending the season in sixteenth place. The following year he joined
Fermana, and won a surprising promotion to
Serie B in 1998 as Serie C1/B champions. He however failed to save Fermana from relegation the next year, and joined
Catania, trying unsuccessfully to guide the
rossoblu to promotion. From the 2001–02 to the 2003–04 seasons, he served as
Pescara's boss, leading them to a runners-up finish in their
2002–03 Serie C1 campaign (and subsequent promotion), but being again sacked the following season. In February 2005 he moved to
Pisa in an unsuccessful attempt to lead the Tuscans to a spot in the playoffs. In the 2005–06 season he won his third promotion to Serie B, now at the helm of
Frosinone, and led the
canarini to an impressive twelfth place the following season. He was appointed as
Ascoli's boss in the summer of 2007. He then briefly served as head coach of
Lega Pro Prima Divisione outfit
Cremonese in the first half of the 2008–09 season. On 24 October 2009
Reggina announced via their website the appointment of Ivo Iaconi. He was relieved of his managerial duties in February 2010, as he failed to bounce Reggina back into a safer position, leaving his side in second-last place. On 19 July 2010, Iaconi was named as head coach of
Serie B club
Triestina but fired in December. ==References==
