On Thursday in Istanbul, during the draw for the Champions League groups, president Ceferin will award the former Milan coach and Italian coach: “Infinite innovations”
“Sacchi reinvented the teamwork ethic, which transcended pure harmony on the pitch. Perfect synchronization and an always winning mentality, regardless of whether the team played at home or away, made everything seem almost supernatural in the 80s. This is exactly the difference between excellence and greatness. ” There could not have been more appropriate words to explain the greatness of Arrigo Sacchi. “Supernatural” was his Milan of Martians, the first real tactical and philosophical revolution of football after the Holland of Kovacs, Michels and Cruijff. For this reason, the UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, will award the former coach and Italian coach during the draw for the Champions League next Thursday in Istanbul.

The infinite tactical innovations he introduced are today the basis of any manual. of football, picked up by generations of coaches who have followed him “.
Arrigo and Carlo

Not only. It will be nice to see together on the stage of the Haliç Congress Center in Istanbul he and the student – who joined him – Carlo Ancelotti, European champion with Real Madrid and, in all probability, winner of the 2022 Best Coach award in front of Klopp and Guardiola. Ceferin concludes: “This award recognizes professional excellence and honors the legacy left to the game of football by exceptional individuals.”

One day it will surely also be Ancelotti’s turn, now it is time for Sacchi to get the right recognition. Arriving at Milan in 1987, the coach from Fusignano won a championship, an Italian Super Cup, two Champions, two Intercontinental and two European Super Cups with the Rossoneri. As coach he finished second to USA 94, defeated only on penalties by Brazil. Today Sacchi is also a columnist for the Gazzetta.
