Giancarlo De Sisti (born 13 March 1943 in Rome) is a former Italian footballer and football manager.

Best known by his nickname Picchio, during his career he played for A.S. Roma (1960-65, 1974-79) and ACF Fiorentina (1965-74). He earned 29 caps and scored 4 goals for the Italy national football team from 1967 to 1972, and played in the championship-winning team of Euro 1968 and the 1970 FIFA World Cup team which finished runners-up.

He then tried a coaching career, achieving his coaching badges in 1980 and later becoming head coach of Fiorentina. He was later forced to leave his job after being diagnosed with brain abscess.[1] He then returned into football with Udinese, and then entering into the Italian Football Federation as head coach of the Italian Juniores and Military squads.[1] He then made a return into club football in 1991 with Ascoli, being successively sacked on January 1992.[1]

In March 2003, after more than ten years of inactivity, he returned into coaching, joining Lazio as youth team coach.[1] He left the job only a few months later, following the appointment of Roberto Mancini as new head coach of the biancazzurri.[2]
