There are very few nations that have enjoyed as much success on the biggest stages in world football as Italy have has over the years. With four FIFA World Cups and two European Championship victories for the Azzurri, Italy are one of the most decorated countries in the game, and a lot of that success is down to the incredible managers they have produced.

Serie A, a league known for its passionate fans, impeccable defending, and organised football, is one of the biggest, most prestigious competitions in club football. Just as highly successful football clubs like Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan have dominated Italian football, so too have a number of distinguished Italian managers enjoyed sustained and substantial success, both at home and abroad.
