In this book, find out the tactical innovations, strategies as well as the bizarre superstitions that managers have employed in the quest for that iconic trophy.
With new and updated content for this edition, the book also features insights from Alexi Lalas, Carlos Alberto Parreira, Pierre Littbarski, Roberto Martínez and Mick McCarthy.
