“The history of football tactics is defined by innovators. Managers who specialize in tactical theory and find ways to reinvent the beautiful game are forever engraved in the minds of supporters.

This dogmatic belief in one’s own philosophy is often the tragic flaw of managers who enjoy tremendous spells of success.

However Die Roten now more than ever are an ideal fit for the versatile pragmatist Carlo Ancelotti.” Bundesliga Fanatic
