Few coaches have made such a significant impact - as he did with Milan - over such a short period of time. The high defensive line, the pressing game so omnipresent today - and utilised by a number of the most talented coaches - would not have taken the form they did without the influence of Arrigo Sacchi.

"Football is the most important of the least important things in life" -Arrigo Sacchi

[@AlphaCenturi16]

The man who abolished the 'Sweeper/Libero' in football and made the back 4 mainstream. Innovator and definitely a Renaissance man of football

[@InTecknicolour]

not entirely, teams just use the keeper as the sweeper now.

[@treacheroustiger5571]

A renaissance in Italy, yes, but the Dutch had been playing that way for years. Ajax and Johan Cruyff are the real innovators of football. Sacchi just followed the blue prints.

[@AlphaCenturi16]

Tiger TrenchTT buddy, I was just referring to how Sacchi made the back 4 mainstream in Europe when the sweeper was a popular choice at that time, but if you want to trace back influences, then credit the Austrian Wunderteam of the 1930's or the Golden Team of Hungary of the 1950's who you can say were the pioneers of effectively introducingTotal Football to the world, the style that Michels, Cryuff and that Ajax team were famous for. I think the Santos team of the 60's also used that style sparingly. Yes the foundations were laid in Ajax, but way before Cryuff's time, probably in the 10's and 20's by a Brit, Jack Reynolds whom Michel played under, whom subsequently Cryuff played under. Know your thing first before you try to lecture me with your 'as-matter-of-fact' bud.

[@AlphaCenturi16]

Tiger TrenchTT FYI, your precious Dutch teams used a sweeper/libero too (Rudd Krol & later Ronald Koeman) before Sacchi showed them back 4 was the way to go.

[@AlphaCenturi16]

Tiger TrenchTT Sacchi's Milan team of the 90's were the last team to win the European Cup/Champions League consequently (twice) before the Real Madrid team of the late 2010's (thrice so far as of 2019).

Pep Guardiola Tactics: How it changed from Barca to Bayern to City. Please make it at least one hour long video, and I guarantee it will get 1 million views on the first day.

[@jaydeepbose4501]

Barca: classic tiki taka Bayern: the same thing as Barca but with two major changes..1) he did not let the midfielders free roam and interchange as much( he realized he could not incorporate tiki taka because for that the players needed to be at the absolute same wavelength and players should all have very high vision to know that after 2 passes where exactly you need to find your Target) ..2.) gave much more freedom to the robbery duo and relied on their brilliance.. City: it's more like ultra pressing in the fifty yard area, finding the best option and recovering the ball as quickly as possible

[@badassbeast655]

Pep = Bullshit

[@vitodoriacalcio]

Sacchi was actually sacked a few games after Euro 96, not straight after the group stage. Sacchi gets praised for his achievements at Milan but he underachieved with Italy. Roberto Baggio carried the Azzurri to the 1994 World Cup Final and flopped at Euro 96 without him. Sacchi made some odd tactical experiments too and had players out of position, especially Beppe Signori. Although he was influenced by Dutch football, his Italy side was more British than Dutch. Used the 4-4-2, picked a lot of hard workers, and did not have a lot of technicians. He also showed favouritism towards Milan (merited) and Parma (not so much) players.

[@sawanacharya3071]

Great video guys❤❤❤

[@vincentproductions8963]

the best teams I have ever seen play are: Cruyff's Barca Sacchi's Milan Luis Aragonés's Spain (Later followed by Vicente del Bosque) Jupp Heynckes Bayern Munich Ancelotti's Milan. Rijkaard's Barca.

you gave 12 mims to Biesla but not the tactics god himself Sacchi 😂 he actually transformed the whole Serie A and most of the good Italian coaches nowadays take after him

[@Ese96Agoaye]

What Sacchi faced during his spell in international management would be similar to what Arsene Wenger would face if he opted to dip his football into the international game.

[@minergmaingx2000]

His tactics inspired Wolfgang Frank who inspired European Cup winning manager Jürgen Klopp. So from Sacchi to Klopp, what goes around well and truly does come around.

Could you do a video explaining why Americans aren’t as successful in Europe, especially managerially? Confuses me that American players can be successful but the only American coach who was well known in Europe was bob Bradley during his poor time at Swansea.

[@iamalpharius5639]

I think mainly because the conditions are different like for starters most American kids aren't that interested in football so most of your talent goes into baseball hockey American football naturally most won't make the change into the sport. This has to change if you are to be a truly great footballing nation aswell as your league formats with no relegation there is no consequence to playing badly (in Europe relegation can mean the death of a club because of lesser finances lesser interest in who your playing lower grade players being available etc..) so I believe if those two things change you'd begin to see better coaches plus retention of older playing staff to become coaches (I'm talking the Tim Howard's brad guzan heath whatever his name is from copa90) and help pass on that knowledge and inspire those around you to want to do more to better themselves but I have to say the level of standards does seem to be slowly rising...

A renowned offensive coach, however, the defence he built at Milan was undoubtedly the best defence of all time. The defence of (most prominently) Baresi, Maldini and Costacurta dominated Italy (and Europe), and they went on an almost two year undefeated spell from 91-93. The season after Sacchi left they went on to win the league undefeated, and in the '93/94 season they conceded only 15 goals in 34 games in the league. However, most of this was achieved under the tutelage of Fabio Capello.

[@kitomir9962]

You forgot tasotti And in sacchi's first season milan conceded even less than in 93 94

[@titanio784]

because Capello is a defensive coach and his milan he attacked less...sacchi wanted to dominate,capello just wanted to win...
