After retiring as a player, Ciocci opens a tobacconist's shop in the center of Corridonia and was later also struck by an intestinal tumor from which he recovered.[1] He later began his coaching career with ASD Arona (Eccellenza) and later also coached Corridonia Calcio (Promozione), Lorese Calcio (Prima Categoria), Chiesanuova di Treia (Prima Categoria), US Trodica (Promozione/Eccellenza) and Tolentino (Eccellenza).[2]

From 2010 to 2012, Ciocci worked as a general manager at Corridonia Calcio. In 2010, he also helped Inter scouting in the United Arab Emirates[3][4] and in India in 2012.[5]

In January 2013, Ciocci became the technical manager of Inter's Academy in Japan, which he was in charge of until June 2017.[6] In February 2018, he was hired on as a U-14 manager at Inter's Chinese sister club, Jiangsu FC.[7]

In March 2020, he became the manager of Civitanovese before he was fired in June 2021. He then, shortly ahead of the 2021-22 season, returned to Corridonia Calcio.
