Career

His career in the top series began in 1992, as 2nd coach at Piemonte Volley. In the Cuneo club he remains uninterruptedly until 2000 (the last year as 1st coach), winning numerous national and international trophies. After two seasons in Greece at Panathīnaïkos Athlītikos Omilos, he sits again on the bench of Piemonte Volley, as first coach until the end of the Serie A1 2002-03.

In 2003 he moved to France, sitting on the bench of Tours Volley-Ball, which led to the height of his triumphs, guiding the transalpine team to the victory of the first and only Champions League^[4] (2nd Champions League won by a French team), one French SuperCup and two French Cups. From 2003 to 2004 he was also the assistant coach of the France with which he won a silver medal at the 2003 European Championship and participated in the 2004 Summer Olympics. From 2005 to 2007, instead, he was assistant coach of the Italy, with which he won the 2005 European Championship, the bronze medal to the 2005 World Grand Champions Cup and the bronze medal to the 2005 Summer Universiade too.

His transalpine adventure was interrupted in 2006, when he was hired by M. Roma Volley.^[5][6] The newborn Roman club, even though it was his first experience, soon achieved prestigious results: in Italy the final of the Italian Cup and of the Italian Supercup, while in the European field he triumphed in the CEV Cup. After two seasons the club decides not to renew its membership to the top division, and Serniotti flies to Russia on the bench of Volejbol'nyj klub Jaroslavič.

From December 29, 2009, until the end of the championship, he is the first coach of Prisma Volley of Taranto.

In 2010 he collaborates again with the French national team coaching Selection B.

On June 21, 2010 he was hired by Trentino Volley, looking for a second coach^[7][8][9] to join Radostin Stojčev. On the bench of the Trentino team he wins for the first time the Italian championship and the World Cup for clubs, which end up several times in his palmarès. He also triumphed in the Italian Cup, the Italian Supercup and the Champions League.

In the summer of 2013 the club encountered financial difficulties, which forced it to sell many of its strongest players, including Osmany Juantorena, Matej Kazijski, Jan Štokr; among the departures was also the coach Radostin Stojčev, who had reached the end of his contract. Serniotti is promoted to 1st coach of the team,^{[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]}signing a contract renewal of one season, and as his 2nd coach he calls Simone Roscini. The adventure at the helm of the Trentino bench lasts only one season, in which he wins the Italian Supercup and the bronze medal at the World Club Championship.^[17] In the Italian Cup he was eliminated in the semifinals^[18]by Piacenza, while he placed 4th at the end of the regular season^[19]and was then eliminated in the playoff quarter-finals by Modena.^{[20][21][22][23]}

In the 2015-16 season is called to the guide of Berlin Recycling Volleys, in the 1. German Bundesliga^{[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]} He calls as his second the Japanese coach Koichiro Shimbo with whom he obtained excellent results both on the national and European field. This was the year of the "triple":^[32][33][34]he won the CEV Cup^[35](the first European trophy in the club's history)^[36], the German championship and the German Cup (a trophy that had been missing in Berlin for 15 years).^[37] The following year, he reconfirmed himself as German champion^{[38][39][40][41]}in addition to leading the German team to the Final Four of the Champions League.^{[42][43][44][45][46]}At the beginning of the season, they failed to win the German Supercup, which was won by the Friedrichshafen team, which also snatched the German cup won by the Berlin team the previous year.

In the 2017-18 championship he became coach of Asseco Resovia^[47] in Polska Liga Siatkówki,^{[48][49][50][51][52][53][54]} but in December 2017 he terminated his contract with the Polish team.

In February 2018^[55] he is called to lead Piemonte Volley in Serie B,^{[56][57][58][59]} thus returning to the city that launched him as a coach; despite not being reconfirmed for the following season, in December of the same year he returns to sit on the Cuneo bench, this time in Serie A2, to replace Mauro Barisciani.^{[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68]}

In the 2020-21 season he finished third in the league and was eliminated in the playoff semifinal by Prisma Taranto of Taranto^{[69][70][71][72]}while in the Italian Cup A2/A3 he reached the semifinal^[73][74][75] losing to Olimpia Bergamo^[76], the team ultimately winning the tournament.

In the 2021-22 championship he reached the final of the Italian Cup A2/A3 thus bringing back, 11 years later, a Cup final at Piemonte Volley^{[77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87]}against Conad Reggio Emilia, a team that wins at the Cuneo home for 3 to 1, winning the 25th edition. Furthermore, at the end of the regular season he comes third again, thus reconfirming the position of the previous year and this time reaching the final of the playoffs^{[88][89][90][91][92][93][94]} where he always meets the Reggio team that imposes itself for 3 to 1 in the Best of Five and gets the move to the SuperLega.^[95] With his contract expiring at the end of the season, the club and the coach parted ways.^{[96][97][98][99]}
