Arrigo Sacchi: The Tactical Masters

Profile
If a manager is to be defined by the best team they ever coached, then few in history can match Arrigo Sacchi.

In four seasons at the helm of AC Milan, between and , Sacchi led his team to only one Serie A title – and that in his first year in charge, when he also claimed an Italian Super Cup. It is for the team’s exploits in Europe, however, that Sacchi is most revered. Back-to-back European Cup wins in and (below), followed by European Super Cup victories on each occasion, represent the product of a communion between world-class footballers and the work of a visionary, non-conformist and revolutionary coach.

Sacchi arrived in Milan to no great fanfare. He had spent all of his year coaching career to that point operating in the lower reaches of Italian football, but he had led Parma to the Serie C1 title in – and in the following season his team fell only three points short of an immediate promotion to Serie A.

Along the way, however, Sacchi masterminded not one but two Coppa Italia wins over mighty AC Milan, with a style of play that captured the attention of Silvio Berlusconi. The Rossoneri’s majority shareholder acted quickly

Arrigo Sacchi came into the game as a former shoe salesman and left as an Italian football legend. He rewrote calcio’s tactical rule book along the way.

He coined some of the greatest quotes in managerial history, brought a number of the game’s most coveted winner’s medals back to his tiny hometown of Fusignano, and inspired a generation of coaches to realize their inventive dreams and calculate their way to success.

It’s hard to imagine many managers with a legacy as daunting and far-reaching as that of Italian football maestro Arrigo Sacchi.

Through all his media furores, borderline racist comments, and run-ins with authorities, Arrigo Sacchi took an ailing Milan side, dominated European football, and helped it become arguably the greatest in modern soccer history.

It’s staggering, then, to think that Arrigo Sacchi had never managed in Serie A when he shook hands with Silvio Berlusconi and accepted the challenge at San Siro.

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola wrote a long article published by La Gazzetta dello Sport, explaining how Arrigo Sacchi changed football and predicting a bright future for the Azzurri and Serie A.

“The first time I saw him was in I was a kid playing in Barcelona’s academy and Milan came to Catalunya to play Javier Clemente’s Espanyol in the UEFA Cup,” Guardiola wrote in an article published by La Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday.

“Not many knew Italian football at that time, we were not accustomed to watching it on TV as it happens today. Nobody imagined Milan, beaten by Espanyol, would win the Scudetto that season. One thing is sure: any Barcelona fan would support Arrigo’s team the following season when they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final. You can imagine the celebrations in my city after their win at San Siro. Football is nice as long as rivalry does not degenerate into violence. The icing on the cake was Milan lifting the trophy at Nou Camp that season.

“Until Sacchi arrived in football, the general idea was everyone in defence and God up front. This is why Arrigo was counter-cultural. His football was attractive and winning. I wish he could coach
