Alberto Malesani

Alberto Malesani is a manager I have a real soft spot for. The Verona-born former player is best remembered for an extraordinary spell at Parma in the late 1990s, lifting the Coppa Italia, the UEFA Cup, and the Supercoppa Italiana with what was, on paper, a mid-tier club. Taking a side like that and turning it into European winners is no small feat, and it speaks to a coach who could squeeze the maximum from a roster. Italian managers are often caricatured as cautious tacticians, but Malesani's reputation leans attacking and fiery. I am partial to that brand of passionate, expressive coaching.
