Vincenzo Italiano’s first trophy—ever! As a player, he was average, grinding through most of his career in Serie B. He once said of himself: “Nature gave me… only willpower and a fiery spirit.”
Same story in coaching. Italiano never got a free pass. He started in Serie D, Italy’s fourth tier, and climbed every step. He promoted four different teams to a higher league. Took Fiorentina to two European finals—lost both. But Italiano doesn’t give a damn, stubborn as hell, just like his teams.
And now—his first trophy. Beating Milan in the Coppa Italia final? Way bigger than some Conference League trinket, if you ask me.
