Malesani – the meme, the manager

Golazzo: The Totally Italian Football Show

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.
