Giuseppe Galderisi

Tampa Bay Mutiny

Galderisi signed with the Tampa Bay Mutiny mid-way through the 1996 Major League Soccer season and had substantially more success than he had in New England, making 19 starts for his new club, scoring seven goals and tallying eight assists in the 1996 Tampa Bay Mutiny season, ultimately helping the club to the first-ever MLS Supporters' Shield, a trophy given to the team with the best regular season record.

Galderisi made 15 starts for Tampa Bay in the 1997 season, recording five goals six assists, and earning a spot in the 1997 MLS All-Star Game, in which he scored a 63rd-minute goal in the MLS East's 5–4 win.

Return to New England

Following Stapleton's resignation at the end of the 1996 New England Revolution season, the Revolution hired Thomas Rongen as their new manager. was capped ten times for Italy between 1985 and 1987, although he failed to score a goal. He made his international debut on 2 June 1985, in a 1–1 draw against Mexico, and was later part of his nation's 1986 FIFA World Cup squad under manager Enzo Bearzot.

Style of play A quick, agile and diminutive striker, Galderisi was a prolific goalscorer, with excellent reactions who was also known for his work-rate, generosity, tenacity, and his powerful and accurate striking ability with either foot. He was also known for his accuracy from distance, and was also effective in the air, despite his small stature, due to his timing and elevation. Although he began his career as a second striker, he came into his own as an out-and-out centre-forward, due to his pace, eye for goal, and his determined and opportunistic style of play. Despite his ability he was often prone to injuries throughout his career, and also struggled to maintain his best form in bigger teams, while he performed better at smaller clubs. He fully recovered since then, and in 2005 he accepted an offer from Viterbese of Serie C2. In 2006–2007, he coached Avellino of Serie C1; after a very impressive first half of season ended in first place, he was fired on 18 April 2007 despite his team, then in second place, was still involved in the promotion run.

In January 2008, Galderisi was appointed at the helm of Serie C1 side Foggia, replacing Salvatore Campilongo. During his tenure, the satanellis performances dramatically improved as they managed to make a comeback to the promotion playoff spots.

In July 2008 he was appointed as new manager of Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Pescara, replacing Franco Lerda, with the aim to win promotion to Serie B for the biancazzurri. However, during his tenure as head coach, Galderisi had to face with serious economic issues within the club; Pescara was ultimately declared out of business in December 2008 and the club control passed legally to a bankruptcy trustee appointed by the Court of Pescara. In February 2009 a new property emerged, with Delfino Pescara 1936 being constituted and taking over the club from the Court of Pescara. Results did not improve anyway, with Pescara struggling in the bottom part of the table, and Galderisi was dismissed from his coaching post on 23 March 2009, being replaced by another former Juventus and Italy international footballer, Antonello Cuccureddu.

In the season 2009–10 he coached Arezzo and in the following season he coached Benevento.

On 25 October 2011 he signed a one-year deal with sleeping giants U.S. Triestina Calcio until the end of the season. The season turned out to be a particularly troubled one due to massive financial issues that ultimately led to many players' departures during the winter transfer market, no salaries being paid for most of the season, relegation and even the cancellation of the club from Italian football.

In July 2012 he was announced as new head coach of hometown club Salernitana, who were just promoted back into professionalism, but he left after getting only one point in three games.

Later in January 2014, he was named the new head coach of Portuguese top-flight strugglers S.C. Olhanense, a club owned by an Italian consortium and with a squad featuring several players formerly of Serie A. He left the club by the end of the season after failing to save it from relegation.

He returned to management in November 2014 to take over at struggling Lega Pro team Lucchese, not being confirmed for the following season despite succeeding in saving them from relegation. He returned at Lucchese in March 2016, signing a contract until June 2017. Galderisi's contract got terminated on 27 March 2017.

On 26 November 2018, he returned to the first club he managed, Gubbio, at the time in the 15th place in Serie C. Galderisi left the club on 23 May 2019.

On 18 February 2020, he was hired by Serie C club Vis Pesaro. He was fired by Vis Pesaro on 3 November 2020 following a poor start to the 2020–21 season.

On 14 December 2021, Galderisi returned into management as the new head coach of Serie C club Mantova, replacing Maurizio Lauro. He was dismissed on 12 April 2022 following a negative string of results, with Lauro being reinstated as head coach.

On 3 April 2023, Galderisi was hired by relegation-battling Serie C club Gelbison, agreeing on a contract until 30 June 2024. During his stint at the club, he failed to keep Gelbison into professionalism as they lost to Messina in the relegation playoffs, and consequently left the club.
