Rescued Lazio from relegation in 2009-10 and such was the improvement under the 65-year-old tactician, the club were unfortunate to then miss out on Champions League qualification on the last day of 2010-11. Serie A’s current oldest Coach has built success in Rome off the back of a strong, organised defence and central midfield, with a tactically flexible front-line in variations of a 4-2-3-1 theme. The 2011-12 season will be his 32nd year as a Coach.
