Yes Italian coaches are renowned for being good tacticians which is why alot of teams have italian coaches, but this reasoning doesnt justify anything.

Also as moustache said, defensive is like mancini when he puts on nigel de jong on instead of a striker when their beating a shit team by only one goal at home in the 60th minute, not necessarily chelsea barcelona 2nd leg.

I dont get what your problem is with this thread. ITs merely pointing out the success of italian coaches THIS year, which is fact. And when you talk about TOP leagues....what did i really leave out? la liga and bundesliga? like i said go ahead and name the coaches of what you think are top leagues and the coaches that won it. and if FA cup is garbage then so must be many other competitions in europe. So what your arguing actually makes no sense....name your top prestiges competions and then name the coaches so we have a clear understanding of your point.
I dont get why some people on this board PMS and get their panties in a bunch everytime someone mentions something successful an italian team or coach did. facts are facts and give credit where its due...i always do even if i hate the team or player. Maybe u guys should also learn to not be so biased. Its ok to hate a certain team or style of football but to come up with excuses and discredit things is just childish and get u no credibility.
