Michele Serena (born 10 March 1970 in Venice) is an Italian former football defender and former manager of Padova. He usually played as a right-back.
Serena started his playing career with Mestre of Serie C2, then become Venezia following a merger. He was signed by Juventus in 1989, and made four league appearances with the bianconeri. He then played for Monza and Verona on single season loans, before signing for Sampdoria in 1992, where he played for three years. In 1995 he was signed by Fiorentina, and in 1998 by La Liga club Atlético Madrid, where he made 35 appearances with 3 goals during his only season with the club. During his time with the Spanish club, he gained a spot in the national team, making his one and only appearance with the azzurri on 5 September 1998, in a 2–0 away win to Wales, under Dino Zoff. He then returned to Italy the following season to play for Parma, making 15 league appearances, but moved on to Inter soon after, during the winter transfer market (in an exchange with Paulo Sousa). With the nerazzurri jersey, he made only 25 appearances in three seasons, mainly because of the several injuries he experienced during his years at Inter, which forced him to retire in 2003.
