Dionisi retired from active playing football in 2014, immediately being named head coach of Serie D club Olginatese, which was his final club as a player. He then managed again at the Serie D level with Borgosesia from 2015 to 2017, and Fiorenzuola in the 2017–18 season.
He was then named head coach of Serie D club Imolese in 2018, guiding the club to second place in the league. After the club was admitted to Serie C to fill a vacancy, he was confirmed at Imolese and successfully guided the small club from Emilia-Romagna to a historic third place in the league (the best result in the club's history) and a place in the promotion playoffs, where his club was defeated by Piacenza in the semi-finals.
