Ulrich Massimo "Uli" Forte (born 30 April 1974) is an Italian football coach and former player from Switzerland. He currently manages FC Winterthur in the Swiss Super League.

Personal life

Forte was born in Zürich to a family originally from Salerno, Italy.

Career

As a player

As a player, Forte played for FC Brüttisellen-Dietlikon, FC Red Star Zürich and SC Kriens.

As a manager

In 2001, Forte was a player-coach at FC Red Star Zürich. In 2006, he moved to FC Wil 1900. After coaching FC Wil 1900 for two years, he signed for FC St. Gallen. He was fired on 1 March 2011. One year later, on 16 April 2012, he signed as the new manager of Grasshopper Club Zürich. From July 2013 until August 2015 he was the head coach of BSC Young Boys. On 13 May 2016 he signed as the head coach of FC Zürich.

On 10 August 2021, he was hired by Yverdon-Sport. Despite a modest league performance, which saw his team end eight out of ten teams in the 2021–22 Swiss Challenge League, he led his team to the semi-final of the 2021–22 Swiss Cup.

After one season with Yverdon, he was appointed by Arminia Bielefeld, on 4 June 2022. On 17 August 2022, Forte was sacked after four losses in the new season.

On 25 April 2023, he returned to the Swiss Challenge League taking over Neuchâtel Xamax, who were sitting in last place.

On 24 December 2024, he departed Xamax to take up the coaching job at FC Winterthur. Like Xamax before, Winterthur were in last place of the Swiss Super League.
