Luciano Spalletti

Musa and Ryan focus their attention on Germany this week, beginning with Bayern’s men securing their 11th straight Bundesliga in a row with a win in Köln while Dortmund drew 2-2 at home to Mainz (02:44). They discuss Dortmund freezing at the Westfalenstadion, the shock felt around the league, and the aftermath of an eventful season for Bayern that cost Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic their respective jobs as CEO and sporting director. They then heap all the praise they can on Urs Fischer for guiding Union Berlin to the Champions League (32:04), as well as Christian Streich, whose Freiburg side narrowly missed out. After all that, they touch on Bayern also securing the Frauen-Bundesliga (40:22) before wrapping up a dramatic day in the 2. Bundesliga, where Hamburg missed out again on automatic promotion (42:07), as Heidenheim scored two in stoppage time to win the second tier and join the already-promoted Darmstadt in the top flight. They finally wrap up with some other stuff around Europe (48:33), including Mauricio Pochettino’s confirmation as the new Chelsea head coach and Luciano Spalletti leaving Napoli.

As part of our Friday webinars with APFA, we were recently joined by Alessandro Davite, an analyst who has worked with some of the best coaches in the world in Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Luciano Spalletti. Prior to Roma, where he was a first-team match analyst, Alessandro was based in Milan where he studied at the University of Milan while also working with the AC Milan academy teams as an analyst. He then worked with Torino and Inter Milan. We talked with Alessandro about his journey to the professional level, the tactical culture in Italy, as well as some insights around tactical preparation and weekly processes as an analyst. This interview was an interactive format with coaches in attendance having the opportunity to get involved in the discussion.

We're not just immersing ourselves in any old atmosphere on today's retrospective episode of At The Match – we're off to sample one of the most intense atmospheres in world football. In November 2018 Andy travelled to Italy for a Serie A blockbuster weekend, which concluded with a trip to sample Luciano Spalletti's Inter revival. At the San Siro, he caught up with coach and pundit Kevin Cauet, who discusses what it means about being part of the Inter family and the fans that have kept the club going through leaner times. He also talks about his father Benoit, who signed for the Nerrazzurri in 1997, and recounts his tales of training with Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio.
