'My first memory was how out of my depth I felt.' acjimbo sat down with jaydmharris to discuss his decade presenting Football Italia, ones to watch in Serie A this season and hosting TheTotallyShow...
I think the first game I attended was a Spurs match back in the early ’80s. I think they were playing West Ham. Then I went to some Arsenal games. The first Italian game I went to was Roma v Monaco in the UEFA Cup in 1992.No. My brother was a big Swansea fan so I used to keep half an eye on them.I met this Italian girl and got quite captivated by everything Italian. It was very easy to be captivated by Italian football.
Why did it have that glamour at the time? My generation has grown up with a different perception of Serie A… It’s a fact it’s the nationality which has the most Premier League winning managers. For all of your Klopps and Guardiolas, nobody has won the Premier League more than Italian managers. Sacchi wasn’t one of them. There is still an incredible tactical legacy and tradition there. It’s something which has been heightened, not lessened by the drain of money from the Italian game or the fact other game’s finances have become so inflated.
Whatever else, he maybe good or bad, and there seems to be a long list of both, he was astonishingly good at running a football club. I think it’s 29 titles or trophies in 30 out of 31 seasons with Milan. Milan were not a club who were doing well before he took over. They had just had a legal-inspired relegation. They were fortunate with the players they had coming through, but he was a really astute club president.
“You asked me earlier about what drew me to Serie A when I first went there. It’s mainly these extraordinarily colourful characters running the game and all the mad stuff they would get up to. You still have all of that in modern times too.
