The Europe conquered with Brighton by the former Sassuolo coach comes after Ranieri’s Premier League, Vialli’s successes, Farioli’s record…
The list of Italian coaches who have won championships in the big European clubs is rich and varied – from Ancelotti to Conte to Mancini, up to Capello and Trapattoni – but we are here to remind you of another deserving list, that of those who have won trophies, grabbed cups or reached qualifications in the European province, let’s say outside the big football metropolises. It’s one thing to win in Madrid, another in Leicester, isn’t it? The trigger comes from the historic goal harpooned by Roberto De Zerbi at the helm of Brighton, with the “Seagulls”, the “Gabbiani” who for the first time in history have landed in a European qualification. Conference League sure, but it can become Europa League.
