GIVE ME A HEAD COACH WHO ACTUALLY CELEBRATES WHEN HIS TEAM SCORES!!
There MUST be some exceptions but Ranieri, Conte, our own RDM, Benitez spring instantly to mind, and all have this in bucketloads!
Benitez is Spanish.
I do agree with you though. Italian coaches generally make for good entertainment on the touchline. Plenty of passion and desire. Even the newer coaches like Roberto De Zerbi and Simeone Inzaghi have that Italian passion whilst also combining it with the modern-day calmness. (Like RDM was)
It’s a shame there aren’t more Italian coaches in England. Maybe Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri are on there way to Arsenal and Chelsea. (I hope Sarri doesn’t leave Napoli though because he still has unfinished business and needs to win the title next season)
