Coaching career
In 2005, he entered Giacomo Gattuso's staff; then he trained Caronnese and later joined Attilio Lombardo at Legnano.
In 2011–12 he had been hired by Pro Patria as head coach: the team, which had to recuperate an 11 points-deduction due to financial irregularities, ended the tournament at a remarkable 7th place (could have been the winner if it wasn't for the amends).[4]

On 18 December 2013, Cusatis was confirmed as one of Giuseppe Sannino's new assistant coaches at Watford.[6]
