Career

Andrioli played for West Adelaide in the Australian National Soccer League.

Until June 2004 he coached W-League club Canberra United FC. Since August 2005 until February 2010 he was a head coach of the Solomon Islands national football team.[3][4][5] Since February 2010 he worked as FFSA Technical Director.[6] Since 2013 he coached the Australia national beach soccer team.[7]

After the appointment of Carl Veart as Adelaide United's new interim head coach, Andrioli was appointed as his assistant for the remainder of the 2019–20 A-League season after it was resumed following the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.[8] On 13 November 2020, the club announced that Andrioli would remain as Veart's assistant going into the 2020–21 A-League season and was also announced as the club's Head of Youth Football.[9][10]
