SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Italian utility Enel SpA ENEI.MI on Tuesday named Nicola Cotugno as the country manager for its Brazilian operations, replacing Carlo Zorzoli, who will head global business development at Enel's green power unit in Italy.

Zorzoli had previously been named to head Eletropaulo ELPL3.SA, Brazil's largest power distributor which is controlled by Enel, but Eletropaulo withdrew his name on Tuesday.

(This version of the story corrects first paragraph to show Zorzoli will head global business development at Enel Green power.)
