#1 Marco Giampaolo
At the start of his career, Giampaolo was an assistant, before making the step up at Cagliari Calcio. After a few spells at some smaller clubs, he was able to be the heritage of Sarri at Empoli, where he impressed and earned himself a move to Sampdoria Genoa a few years later. The North Italian side was turned from a relegation side to a solid mid table team, without spending more money than they received through sales.
His favored 4-3-1-2 is rarely seen in today’s game, but is working very good for his club. Beautiful combinations combined with a solid defense, show how good Giampaolo prepares his side. They are also an attacking threat, scoring more than Milan, Lazio and Torino. At Sampdoria he also developed players like Torreira, Zapata or Skriniar, which are now some of the best of the world.
The 4-3-1-2 would suit Milan very well, as they possibly have the perfect player material for that. The Swiss is also known for a beautiful kind of football, which the Rossoneri supporters have not seen in a long time and definitely deserve to see again.
