Castellani was a head coach of Skra Bełchatów in 2006–2009. In 2009, he took charge of the Polish national team, and in September 2009 led the team to the European Champions title. On 14 September 2009, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of Polonia Restituta.{{cite web |url=http://www.prezydent.pl/aktualnosci/ordery-i-odznaczenia/art,695,reprezentacja-siatkarzy-odznaczona-przez-prezydenta.html |title=Reprezentacja siatkarzy odznaczona przez prezydenta |work=prezydent.pl |language=pl |date=15 September 2009 |access-date=31 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722022057/http://www.prezydent.pl/aktualnosci/ordery-i-odznaczenia/art,695,reprezentacja-siatkarzy-odznaczona-przez-prezydenta.html |archive-date=22 July 2015}} The Order was conferred on the following day by the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk.
