Career
Prina started his career in 2006 as head coach of Serie D amateurs Pro Belvedere Vercelli, obtaining a ninth place by the end of the season. In 2008–09 he guided Serie D club Biellese to promotion (then revoked due to financial issues involving the club). The following season, he took his first professional role as head coach at Lega Pro Seconda Divisione club Canavese.
In April 2011 he took over at another Lega Pro Seconda Divisione club, Virtus Entella. After saving the club from relegation, he guided Virtus Entella to promotion to Lega Pro Prima Divisione in 2011–12.
In 2012–13, Virtus Entella emerged as a promotion outsider, qualifying for the post-season playoffs thanks to an impressive fifth place and then being defeated by Lecce in a two-legged semi-final. This was followed by an even more successful finish in the 2013–14 Lega Pro Prima Divisione, as Virtus Entella managed to top the league for almost the full season and winning promotion to Serie B for its first time ever.
As head coach of a newly promoted Serie B club, Prina was therefore successfully admitted to the yearly UEFA Pro Licence course to be held in Coverciano.
He was removed from head coach on 12 April 2015, after a negative string of results led his club into relegation zone in the Serie B.
On 14 March 2016, he was named new head coach of relegation-threatened Lega Pro club Mantova, guiding the club to retaining their professional status after playoffs. On 28 November 2016, he was sacked after a negative start to the season, with the club bottom of the league.
