4) Nereo Rocco

Rocco was incredibly successful as manager of AC Milan, as well as being a pioneer of the ‘catenaccio’ style of play. During his time at the club they dominated the domestic scene in Italy, winning two Serie A titles and three domestic cups. All this is however, trumped by the club’s performance in Europe during his three spells in charge of the team. The European Cup was won twice, in 1963 and 1969 respectively, with Rocco also leading AC Milan to European Cup Winners’ Cup success on two occasions. He was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame in 2012.
