ANCELOTTI TACTICAL (ENGLISH VERSION)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Ancelotti Tactical is a deep dive into the experiences of the famed Italian manager during his most recent years as a coach: his different playing systems, his decisions, his way of working, and how he successfully adapted his coaching to the demands of different countries. Regardless of the geography, Ancelotti has proven himself to be a winner. With their ample tactical richness, his teams have been recognized for their ability to keep and use the ball and their ability to dominate in attack without ever neglecting their defensive responsibilities. He’s a manager who aims for balance: solid and organized playing structures, but with the ability to generate danger once they approach the opponent’s goal. This book not only aims to highlight and praise his achievements, which of course have been many; it also focuses on the difficult moments of Ancelotti’s career, and the resolve he shown to persevere and keep moving forward.
