	The Scotsman - Sport - Sacchi buoyed by Italian progress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		FORMER Italy coach Arrigo Sacchi has warned the trio of Serie A clubs in the semi-finals of the Champions League not to get carried away by their achievements so far and asked for a commitment to more attractive football.
		Sacchi, who lambasted Italian football after its European failures last season, said this week’s thrilling quarter-finals were proof the knock-out format was superior to the group games and called for a return to the old European Cup.
		Sacchi, who led AC Milan to European and domestic triumphs in the early Nineties and coached Italy to the final of the 1994 World Cup, now works as Parma’s technical director.

		Sacchi, who has agreed to stay at the club on a rolling contract, is set to work under sporting director and vice-president Emilio Butragueno.
		The final decision to bring in Sacchi was taken after a meeting of the club's directors today and Perez will be hoping that his introduction will bring an end to Real's unconvincing performances which have seen the side slip 10 points behind fierce rivals Barcelona.
		Sacchi joined AC Milan as coach after a highly successful spell at Parma in the mid-1980s, and he brought two European Cups and a Scudetto back to the San Siro.

	Real name Sacchi as director of football - My Football Forum - The Original Football Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sacchi, who had a brief and unsuccessful spell in charge of Real's city rivals Atletico in the 1998-99 season, had been employed as technical director at Serie A strugglers Parma.
		Sacchi's appointment is the latest in a succession of changes at a club that has gone into a spiral of decline since they discarded the highly successful Vicente del Bosque, who led them to two European Cups and two league titles in his three and a half seasons as first team coach.
		Sacchi, the man now charged with the task of turning the club around, made his name as a coach of Parma in the mid-1980's before he was snapped up by AC Milan in 1987.

		Following their failure to even qualify for Euro ‘92, Italy replaced veteran Azeglio Vicini with Arrigo Sacchi, the very man who built the supreme Milan machine of the late 1980s and early 90s and at the same time was credited with revolutionising Italian football.

	Juventuz Forums - Of the relative importance of football coaches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Arrigo Sacchi, the manager of the stellar Milan of the late 80's/early 90's, that unequalled team capable of asphyxiating its opponents in their penalty area for the whole 90 minutes, was described by many as the new prophet of zone football, so much that everybody back then would try to copy his "visionary" 4-4-2 formation.
		But Sacchi's reputation as the architect of the football of the future was well established by then, and the Italian Federation promptly enlisted him ahead of World Cup '94.
		When he took over from Sacchi at Milan in ‘92, Capello inherited a team that was at the peak of its glory and maturity, a team that had remained pretty much unchanged for the previous 4 years and whose players knew their respective role on the pitch by heart.

		Sacchi’s reign at AC Milan, has been described as one of the most successful but his fortunes somewhat faded after Italy lost the World Cup final to Brazil under his tutelage.
