Cosmi led Trapani to the 2016 Serie B promotion playoffs, where they were defeated by Pescara in the final round.

After failing to save his team from relegation to Serie B, with Crotone ending in 19th place in the league, the club announced they would not confirm Cosmi for the following season. On 4 September 2022, Cosmi returned into management as the new head coach of Croatian club Rijeka. His experience at the club however proved to be short-lived, as he was dismissed on 13 November 2022 following a 2–7 loss to GNK Dinamo Zagreb. Style Cosmi is widely popular in Italy for his excitable behaviour during matches. He is also famous for always wearing a baseball cap (usually that of his team, but often with just his signature printed on it).
