Managerial career edit
In 2014 Tosi quit as manager of US Le Pontet. At the time, the club was in fourth place in the CFA.[1] Tosi was manager of MDA Chasselay for one-and-a-half seasons. He escaped relegation from the CFA in the 2014–15 season. In June 2016 it was announced he had agreed the termination of his contract with the club. The club's president cited financial constraints preventing the club from keeping Tosi.[2] After being unable to prevent FC Mulhouse's relegation to Championnat National 3 in the previous season, Tosi left the club in June 2017.[3]
