Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Collacchioni started a career as a coach in the amateur leagues of Tuscany.
After working as a youth coach for Fucecchio, he was promoted to head coach in May 2019. After two seasons with Fucecchio, he left for fellow Eccellenza club San Miniato Basso for the 2021–22 season.
On 12 July 2022, he was unveiled as the new head coach of Livorno, originally scheduled to play Eccellenza but later readmitted to Serie D. On 31 October 2022, Collacchioni was dismissed following a 0–1 league defeat to Montespaccato, only to be called back one day later following a formal request by the team squad. Just a few days later, on 21 November, Collacchioni was however dismissed once again following a 0–3 defeat to promotion rivals Pianese.
On 1 June 2023, Collacchioni was unveiled as the new head coach of San Donato Tavarnelle for the club's upcoming Serie D campaign.

On 5 November 2024, Collacchioni joined fellow Serie D club Pistoiese as assistant to new head coach Alberto Villa.
