Playing career

Throughout her career she played as a striker for Juventus FCF, Torino CF, Reggiana CF, ASD Fiammamonza, Torres CF, SS Lazio and Foroni Verona in Serie A, and Maryland Pride in the W-League.[2]

She was a member of the Italian national team, and took part in the 1991 and 1999 World Cups[3] and the 1993, 1997 and 2001 European Championships. She scored Italy's last goal in the 1991 World Cup, forcing the extra time in the quarterfinals against Norway. She again scored a tier against Norway in the 2001 Euro.[4]

Coaching career

Since 2015, Guarino has served as Italy's under-17 national team's assistant manager[5] and Manager of Footballab – Individual Training System.[6]

In 2017, she co-authored the book Train in women's football. Technical, tactical, physical aspects and estimates.[7]

On 16 June 2017, Guarino was appointed head coach of Juventus Women.[8] She led the team to their first ever Scudetto: both Juventus and Brescia finished the season tied at 60 points atop the League thus making a tie-breaker necessary.

On 20 May 2018 in Novara Juventus beat Brescia 5–4 at penalty shoot-out winning the championship following their debut season in the league.[9]
