Malesani – the meme, the manager May 01, 2019

Show notes

Before there was Sarri - and after there was Sacchi – there was Alberto Malesani.He gave up his job at Canon in Amsterdam to pursue a career in football management. He was the figurehead of one of the great Parma sides, masterminding the second most famous treble in European football in 1999.But for many, Malesani is more famous for his foul-mouthed press conferences and blames social media for his lack of involvement in the game today. We celebrate the man behind the meme in this Cazzo Golazzo.In Serie A, the race for the top 4 is hotting up and includes Atalanta and Torino. But sadly there’s another racism row involving Lazio fans.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1a: Malesani’s tactical ethos (01m 00s)• PART 1b: Malesani at Canon (06m 00s)• PART 2a: Malesani at Chievo & Fiorentina (08m 30s)• PART 3a: Malesani at Parma and the success of 1999 (16m 00s)• PART 3b: Things start to go wrong for Malesani & the Panathinaikos rant (21m 00s)• PART 3c: Malesani’s mollo rant and his damaged reputation (29m 00s)• PART 4: Serie A roundup – Torino turn up the heat plus Lazio fans race row (33m 00s)GET IN TOUCH:• find us on Facebook, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff.• send us a tweet: @theTotallyShow• for sales and advertising email sales@muddykneesmedia.com
