In 1987, Poli became the manager of Dinan. He simultaneously took a job as a sports instructor in a primary school in the area of Dinan. In 1995, he stopped managing the football club of the town, but continued in his sports coach position until 2003, when he retired. He died on 6 December 2008 due to cancer.
