Gabriele Ambrosetti (born 7 August 1973) is a former Italian footballer who played as a winger.

Born in Varese, he played for several Italian sides, including Brescia and Vicenza. He won the 1996–97 Coppa Italia at Vicenza,[1] and in April 1998 played in a Cup Winners Cup semi-final against Chelsea, inspiring the English Premier League club to sign him for £3.5 million in August 1999. He arrived as, according to his manager, Gianluca Vialli, the 'Italian Ryan Giggs', but struggled to live up to the tag and in four years made only a handful of appearances. He made his Chelsea debut as a substitute on 21 August in a 1–0 home win against Aston Villa, replacing compatriot Gianfranco Zola for the last three minutes.[2] The only goal he scored for Chelsea was in a 5–0 win against Galatasaray in Istanbul, on 20 October 1999 during the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.[3] Ambrosetti also contributed one appearance to Chelsea's victorious 1999–2000 FA Cup campaign.[4]

In January 2016 Ambrosetti joined the coaching staff of Swansea City under their newly appointed coach Francesco Guidolin.[5]
