Coaching career

Having been released in 2010 by Cremonese and having decided to retire, Viali became coach of Serie D side Fiorenzuola. After leading the club away from relegation, Viali left the club in 2011. In 2012, Parma announced Viali had become the head coach of their under-16 team.[2]

On 28 January 2020, he joined Serie C club Cesena.[6] He left Cesena by the end of the 2021–22 Serie C season.

On 2 November 2022, Viali signed a contract until 30 June 2023 to become the new head coach of Serie B club Cosenza to replace Davide Dionigi, on what was also his first managerial job in the Italian second division.[7] He was dismissed on 13 November 2023 due to poor results, after achieving only twelve points in the first 13 league games of the season.[8]
