'''Alberto Zaccheroni''' ({{IPA|it|alˈbɛrto ddzakkeˈroːni}}; born 1 April 1953) is an Italian former [[association football|football]] manager, formerly in charge of the [[United Arab Emirates national football team|United Arab Emirates]] and [[Japan national football team|Japan]] national football teams.

He has managed a number of top clubs in [[Serie A]], the high point of his career being his stint as manager of [[AC Milan]] (1998–2001), with whom he won a [[scudetto]], in his first season in charge ([[1998–99 Serie A|1998–99]]). Other notable clubs coached by Zaccheroni include [[SS Lazio|Lazio]], [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] and [[Juventus FC|Juventus]], all as interim coach for part of a season. He won the [[AFC Asian Cup|Asian Cup]] in 2011 as manager of [[Japan national football team|Japan]]. Zaccheroni is also renowned for his unconventional and trademark [[Formation (association football)#3.E2.80.934.E2.80.933|3–4–3 tactical system]].

==Career==
Zaccheroni played as a [[Full-back (association football)|full-back]] on both the left and the right wing,<ref name="inter">[https://www.inter.it/it/news/2003/10/19/la-storia-la-vita-e-la-carriera-di-alberto-zaccheroni.html LA STORIA, LA VITA E LA CARRIERA DI ALBERTO ZACCHERONI] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125084101/https://www.inter.it/it/news/2003/10/19/la-storia-la-vita-e-la-carriera-di-alberto-zaccheroni.html |date=25 January 2021 }} ''Inter.it'', 19 October 2003</ref> without much success, and his playing career was cut short by injury. He therefore became a manager at the relatively young age of 30 with amateur club [[AS Cesenatico Chimicart|Cesenatico]]. He won the Serie C2 and Serie C1, the fourth and the third highest football leagues in Italy. His managerial career took off when he was in charge of [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]].

===Udinese===
Zaccheroni was appointed manager of Udinese in 1995. The [[Serie A 1996-97|1996–97]] season saw Udinese qualify for the [[UEFA Cup]]. In the [[Serie A 1997-98|following season]], they managed a third-place finish behind champions [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] and runners-up [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]], largely thanks to [[Oliver Bierhoff]]'s 27 goals.

===Milan===
Zaccheroni's results at Udinese attracted the attention of [[Silvio Berlusconi]], owner of Italian giants [[AC Milan]], who appointed him as manager after the club had endured two miserable seasons, despite their expensive, star-studded squad featuring ([[George Weah]], [[Leonardo Araujo|Leonardo]], [[Paolo Maldini]] etc.). Zaccheroni asked Berlusconi to sign two key players from Udinese to accompany him to Milan: German striker [[Oliver Bierhoff]] and Danish right wing-back [[Thomas Helveg]]. Berlusconi obliged, and both players joined Zaccheroni at his new club.

Zaccheroni delivered instantly, as Milan conquered the Serie A in his [[1998–99 Serie A|first season in charge]], overcoming [[SS Lazio|Lazio]] and [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] to the title, after seven straight wins in the last seven matches, with Zaccheroni employing an attacking 3–4–3 (or 3–4–1–2) formation that made good use of Milan's forwards, attacking midfielders and wing-backs.<ref name="sky">[https://sport.sky.it/calcio/serie-a/2016/12/09/milan-anti-juve-sogno-scudetto-storia-grandi-rimonte-.html Provaci ancora, Milan: le grandi rimonte Scudetto] ''Skysport.it'', 12 December 2016</ref>

The [[1999–2000 AC Milan season|following season]] was less successful for Zaccheroni as Milan crashed out of the [[1999–2000 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] early, and, despite finishing third in Serie A, were never really in the running for the title. The [[2000–01 AC Milan season|2000–01 season]] was even worse for Zaccheroni and would be his last in charge, as Milan had a poor run in the Serie A, at one time finding themselves barely above the relegation zone (eventually they finished 6th); in the Champions League they had a good start in the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League first group stage|First Group Stage]], topping their group (which included [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Leeds United]] and [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]]), but were eventually eliminated in the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League second group stage|Second Group Stage]]. As the [[2001 UEFA Champions League final|Champions League final]] was about to take place at the San Siro, the backlash was immense, and this led Berlusconi to sack Zaccheroni and replace him with caretaker manager [[Cesare Maldini]] on 14 March 2001, one day after Milan's elimination from the Champions League.

As manager of Milan, Zaccheroni was successful and prescient in some of his signings; [[Oliver Bierhoff]], [[Kakha Kaladze]], [[Gennaro Gattuso]] and, above all, [[Andriy Shevchenko]] would become key players for the club. On the other hand, however, transfers like those of [[José Mari (footballer, born 1978)|José Mari]] were expensive flops, and he was also criticised for letting top centre-back [[Roberto Ayala]] leave Milan and move to [[Valencia CF|Valencia]]; Ayala was generally unhappy in his two seasons at Milan (making 13 appearances in 1998–99 and 22 in 1999–2000) as there was stiff competition in defence with established players like [[Paolo Maldini]] and [[Alessandro Costacurta]].

===Lazio===
Zaccheroni was without a job for a few months before [[SS Lazio|Lazio]] came calling, after [[Dino Zoff]] had resigned. The Rome-based club had endured a terrible start to the 2001–02 season. He changed things around and managed to finish 6th in Serie A, thus earning Lazio a place in the [[UEFA Cup]]. Zaccheroni was not without his critics, though, as he played [[Gaizka Mendieta]] and [[Stefano Fiore]] out of position, thus failing to get the best out of them. He was also held responsible by many for the humiliating 5–1 loss to Roma in the [[Derby della Capitale|Rome derby]] that season. Despite Zaccheroni's efforts, he parted company with Lazio, to be replaced by [[Roberto Mancini]].

===Inter===
Zaccheroni was again called upon in the mid-season of [[2003–04 Serie A|2003–04]], this time to try to save [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] after the departure of coach [[Héctor Cúper]] from the club. Despite crashing out of the Champions League after a humiliating 5–1 loss to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] at the San Siro, he managed to lift Inter to fourth place in Serie A, thus securing qualification to the Champions League for next season. However, Inter president [[Massimo Moratti]] was not convinced of Zaccheroni's abilities, and he was again replaced by Roberto Mancini.

===Torino===
After two seasons without a job, he was linked with a move to England in the vacant manager's post at [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]].{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} These rumors never came to fruition. He did, however, become the new head coach of [[Torino FC|Torino]] on 7 September 2006, the 100th anniversary of the team, replacing [[Gianni De Biasi]], fired by chairman [[Urbano Cairo]] three days before the start of the new season despite having led the team to instant promotion from [[Serie B]]. However, despite a good start, Zaccheroni was not able to bring Torino to the top positions in the league table and even suffered a worrying sequence of six consecutive defeats, which led chairman Cairo to sack him on 26 February 2007, and reinstate De Biasi at the helm of the ''granata''.

===Juventus===
On 29 January 2010 he was appointed to replace [[Ciro Ferrara]] as head coach of under-crisis [[Juventus FC|Juventus]]. He signed a four-month contract.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=Juventus FC |language=it |title=Zaccheroni nuovo allenatore della Juventus |access-date=29 January 2010 |date=29 January 2010 |url=http://www.juventus.it/site/ita/NEWS_newsseriea_24CA3FB221F04352B60AC7DAD8C7913E.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100201135019/http://www.juventus.it/site/ita/NEWS_newsseriea_24CA3FB221F04352B60AC7DAD8C7913E.asp |archive-date=1 February 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
On 14 February 2010, Zaccheroni achieved his first win as a Juventus manager, defeating [[Genoa CFC|Genoa]] 3–2.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=278463&cc=5739&league=ITA.1|title=Del Piero's disputed spot-kick|date=14 February 2010|work=ESPN|access-date=16 February 2010|archive-date=20 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020163630/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=278463&cc=5739&league=ITA.1|url-status=dead}}</ref> His first loss in charge of the team arrived two weeks later, a 0–2 home defeat to [[US Città di Palermo|Palermo]].

He also guided Juventus through the newly established [[2009–10 UEFA Europa League|UEFA Europa League]] campaign, after the club failed to qualify to the first knockout round of the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]]. In his first game at European level with Juventus, his side defeated 2–1 [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] in [[Amsterdam]] (the return leg then ended 0–0), and then went on to play English opponents [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]]. The first leg ended in a 3–1 win, but in [[Craven Cottage]] his side suffered a 4–1 defeat, sending Juventus out of the competition on a 5–4 aggregate scoreline. After a good start, results fell down again, similarly to the way they did during Ferrara's tenure, and Juventus ended the season in seventh place, thus concluding what was remembered as one of the most troubled Serie A seasons for the ''bianconeri''.

===Japan===
On 30 August 2010, it was revealed via an announcement from the [[Japan Football Association]] that Zaccheroni would become the new manager of the [[Japan national football team]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://samuraiblue.jp/newscenter/press_release/news_000203.html|title=SAMURAI BLUE(日本代表)新監督決定|date=30 August 2010|access-date=30 August 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100901075328/http://samuraiblue.jp/newscenter/press_release/news_000203.html| archive-date= 1 September 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> However, due to a visa problem, he was not able to take charge in the first two matches against Paraguay (1–0) and Guatemala (2–1), in which former Japan striker and JFA technical director [[Hiromi Hara]] took charge. The first match he took charge, Japan had a historic 1–0 win over [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]].

His first major competition with Japan was the [[2011 AFC Asian Cup]], hosted in [[Qatar]]. He led the team to their record fourth Asian Cup title, winning 1–0 in the [[2011 AFC Asian Cup final|final]] against [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=312270&cc=5739|title=Australia 0 - 1 Japan|date=29 January 2011|work=ESPN Soccernet|access-date=2 February 2011|archive-date=31 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110131075210/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=312270&cc=5739|url-status=dead}}In 2013 Japan won for the first time the EAFF East Asian Cup.</ref>

He led Japan to become the first nation to qualify for the World Cup finals in Brazil after their [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] qualifying football match against Australia in [[Saitama, Saitama|Saitama]] on 4 June 2013. Japan opened their campaign at the World Cup with a 2–1 defeat to [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]], where they led the match until 64 minutes. In the next match, Japan faced [[Greece national football team|Greece]], which ended 0–0. They were eliminated in the group stages after a 4–1 defeat to [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] and finished fourth with one point. At the end of the tournament, Zaccheroni resigned as the manager of Japan.

===Beijing Guoan===
On 19 January 2016, Zaccheroni was appointed manager of [[Chinese Super League]] club [[Beijing Guoan]] on a two-year contract.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lalaziosiamonoi.it/non-solo-lazio/ufficiale-zaccheroni-e-il-nuovo-allenatoredel-beijing-guoan-61530|title = UFFICIALE - Zaccheroni è il nuovo allenatoredel Beijing Guoan}}</ref> But after a dismal start to the season in which Guoan picked up just nine points in their first nine games of the season, combined with the team scoring just seven goals in their first nine games and growing discontent among fans, Zaccheroni was fired.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Duerden|first1=John|title=Alberto Zaccheroni's Beijing Gouan exit a warning for coaches in China|url=http://www.espnfc.com.au/blog/football-asia/153/post/2876064/alberto-zaccheronis-beijing-gouan-exit-a-warning-for-coaches-in-china|website=ESPN FC|publisher=ESPN|access-date=20 May 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Alberto Zaccheroni sacked by Beijing Guoan|url=https://gbtimes.com/alberto-zaccheroni-sacked-beijing-guoan|publisher=GBTimes|access-date=20 May 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Yu|first1=Fu|title=Beijing Guo'an Sack Alberto Zaccheroni|url=http://english.cri.cn/12394/2016/05/20/2941s928262.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160521130710/http://english.cri.cn/12394/2016/05/20/2941s928262.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 May 2016|website=CRJEnglish.com|publisher=China Radio International|access-date=20 May 2016}}</ref>

===United Arab Emirates===
On 16 October 2017, Zaccheroni took over the [[United Arab Emirates national football team]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/alberto-zaccheroni-confirmed-as-uae-football-manager-1.667765|title = Alberto Zaccheroni confirmed as UAE football manager|date = 16 October 2017}}</ref> The team in January 2018 finished as the runner-up in the 23rd Gulf Cup. In January 2019, Zaccheroni led the national team to the semi-final of the [[2019 AFC Asian Cup|Asian Cup]] which was hosted by the United Arab Emirates. After the 4–0 defeat against [[Qatar national football team|Qatar]] in semi-final, Zaccheroni left his position as UAE head coach as his contract with the UAE was set to expire at the end of the [[2019 AFC Asian Cup]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.ae/sport/football/alberto-zaccheroni-s-reign-as-uae-manager-set-to-end-following-asian-cup-exit-1.819726|title=Alberto Zaccheroni's reign as UAE manager set to end following Asian Cup exit|publisher=The National|last1=McAuley|first1=John|date=30 January 2019}}</ref>

===Italian Non Profit National Team===
Since April 2022 he is the technical commissioner of the "Italian Non Profit National Team", a Third Sector Entity (ETS) that promotes the values of solidarity through the sharing of a sporting experience involving non-profit associations.

===FIFA===
In 2022, he became a member of FIFA's Technical Study Group (TSG) during the World Cup in Qatar.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Meet the experts: Alberto Zaccheroni |url=https://www.fifatrainingcentre.comwww.fifatrainingcentre.com/en/fwc2022/technical-study-group/meet-the-experts--alberto-zaccheroni.php |access-date=2022-11-23 |website=FIFA Training Centre |language=en}}</ref>

==Style of management==
Zaccheroni was known for employing an innovative attacking 3–4–3 (or [[Formation (association football)#3–4–1–2|3–4–1–2]] system, with an [[attacking midfielder]] supporting the [[Forward (association football)|forwards]]) formation, which was unconventional for the time. His system made use of a back-three and [[Defender (association football)#Wing-back|wing-backs]] in lieu of [[Wide midfielder|wide midfielders]], who would make attacking runs up the flank, looking to provide [[Cross (association football)|crosses]] to the team's [[centre-forward]], rather than tracking back.<ref name="sky"/><ref name="Come giocava l'Udinese di Zaccheroni"/><ref name="leading change">{{cite web |title=Alberto Zaccheroni on leading change |url=https://www.fifatrainingcentre.com/en/environment/interviews/read/alberto-zaccheroni.php |publisher=FIFA Training Centre |access-date=27 May 2024 |language=en |date=20 April 2022}}</ref> In his early career, he initially used a [[4–4–2 formation]] with a [[Zonal marking|zonal defence]], inspired by [[Arrigo Sacchi]]'s similar tactical system at Milan, which was widely used in Italy during the 1990s, although he did not emulate Sacchi's use of the [[offside trap]]. Zaccheroni's direct game-play sought to bring the forwards into play as quickly as possible, through long balls from the back. He made use of an attacking trident with inverted [[Forward (association football)#Winger|wingers]] who were known for their quick combination play, or ability to provide depth to the team with their runs off the ball, and cut inside either to score goals or create chances. Unlike Ajax's diamond midfield under [[Louis van Gaal]] in the 1990s, Zaccheroni used a flat midfield line in his trademark 3–4–3 formation. Off the ball, his team made use of [[Pressing (association football tactic)|pressing]].<ref name="Come giocava l'Udinese di Zaccheroni">{{cite web |title=Come giocava l'Udinese di Zaccheroni |url=https://www.ultimouomo.com/udinese-zaccheroni-come-giocava/ |publisher=L'Ultimo Uomo |access-date=27 May 2024 |language=it-IT |date=1 April 2020}}</ref><ref name="leading change"/><ref>{{cite news |last1=Cox |first1=Michael |title=Rebooted: How Zaccheroni kick-started Milan by moving to a back three |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1751507/2020/04/18/zaccheroni-udinese-1-5-milan-1999/ |access-date=27 May 2024 |work=The New York Times |date=18 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=On the front foot |url=https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/alberto-zaccheroni-udinese-milan-inter-juventus/ |publisher=The Coaches' Voice |access-date=27 May 2024}}</ref>
