Golazzo is back!

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti are back for the final Golazzo of the season, amid changing times for the Old Lady.With Max Allegri gone and with Juventus seemingly set to appoint Maurizio Sarri (or are they?), we go back in time to the last time the Turin giants took a gamble on a gaffer.Gigi Maifredi was supposed to be Juve’s answer to Arrigo Sacchi as he took the huge leap from Bologna in 1990 and led the Old Lady to a 7th place finish in one of their worst seasons ever. But Maifredi himself will tell you he was a managerial trailblazer and that Sacchi stole all his ideas.It’s all change in Serie A, as 5 of the top 8 are changing their managers.

Feast of the Goddess – the Atalanta fairytale

Before there was Sarri - and after there was Sacchi – there was Alberto Malesani.He gave up his job at Canon in Amsterdam to pursue a career in football management. He was the figurehead of one of the great Parma sides, masterminding the second most famous treble in European football in 1999.But for many, Malesani is more famous for his foul-mouthed press conferences and blames social media for his lack of involvement in the game today. We celebrate the man behind the meme in this Cazzo Golazzo.In Serie A, the race for the top 4 is hotting up and includes Atalanta and Torino. But sadly there’s another racism row involving Lazio fans.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1a: Malesani’s tactical ethos (01m 00s)• PART 1b: Malesani at Canon (06m 00s)• PART 2a: Malesani at Chievo & Fiorentina (08m 30s)• PART 3a: Malesani at Parma and the success of 1999 (16m 00s)• PART 3b: Things start to go wrong for Malesani & the Panathinaikos rant (21m 00s)• PART 3c: Malesani’s mollo rant and his damaged reputation (29m 00s)• PART 4: Serie A roundup – Torino turn up the heat plus Lazio fans race row (33m 00s)GET IN TOUCH:• find us on Facebook, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff.• send us a tweet: @theTotallyShow• for sales and advertising email sales@muddykneesmedia.com Hosted on Acast.

Evangelical, elegant and exceptional with the ball at his feet.

Revisiting Roma 82-84

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at the life and times of your favourite player if you had Pro Evo during its pomp – Inter and Brazil’s Adriano.The man known as the Emperor had enough talent to impress Ibra and possibly the most powerful shot the game has seen. We chart the story of his rise and the tragic circumstances behind his fall.Plus there’s plenty to discuss in Serie A. And not in a good way.

All Hail Emperor Adriano

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back to Italy’s World Cup win in 1982 in Spain – the summer that arguably launched Italian football and Serie A to a whole new level.Match-fixing scandals, press black-outs and strange squad selections – there was nothing about the Azzurri’s preparations that suggested World Cup glory.But Enzo Bearzot’s Italy side became icons. En route to the final, they overcame Brazil’s dream side of 82, perhaps the greatest team not to win the World Cup, in one of the tournament’s greatest ever games.

The notorious Moggi

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti review one of the most influential managers of all time, the leader of the iconic Milan side of the late 80s – Arrigo Sacchi.His father owned a shoe factory but he was viewed as a visionary by Silvio Berlusconi.

Tony Christmas! The Toto Di Natale story

This week on Golazzo, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at Bobo – Christian Vieri – the grumpiest striker in Serie A.Currently enjoying life as a DJ, and having admitted he would have been happier playing cricket in his former home of Australia, Vieri wasn’t exactly a bad footballer. One of Italy’s all-time great strikers and a top scorer in Serie A and La Liga.Bobo liked to score on and off the pitch but ended his career living with his mother. He made his way through plenty of clubs. 9 in 9 years to be exact. And heaven knows how many nightclubs.Elsewhere, it was a heart-breaking week for Napoli and Inter who were both eliminated from the Champions League by a wafer-thin margin.It was a wild weekend in Italy with dramatic finishes while Juventus are enjoying the best start in Serie A history.

From Vasquez to Viagra. It’s the story that includes over a thousand sexual conquests and Jimbo’s favourite goal in Serie A history. The story of the man who found a kindred spirit in Kyle Lafferty.In an extremely competitive field, Zamparini is a record-breaker when it comes to owners dismissing managers in Italy. 45 sackings in 16 years will do that.And it was a golden age on the field, starring the likes of Cavani, Pastore, Dybala, Grosso, Toni. The list went on, as Palermo were regulars on the European scene.In Serie A, we look ahead to what could be a Friday night thriller between Juventus and Inter. And while Gennaro Gattuso continues to defy expectations as a manager, Pippo Inzaghi fails to meet them.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: Zamparini sells Palermo to David Platt (01m 00s)• PART 2: Zamparini sells Venezia to buy Palermo in 2002 (05m 30s)• PART 3a: Palermo promoted to Serie A in 2004 – the great players they had and the vast quantity of managers (10m 30s)• PART 3b: Zamparini moves into politics – the pitchfork movement (17m 30s)• PART 3c: The second great Palermo side of 2010-11 (20m 00s)• PART 3d: Zamparini’s active sex life (25m 45s)• PART 4: Juventus v Inter preview and a look back at last weekend’s Serie A action (27m 45s)GET IN TOUCH:• find us on Facebook, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff.• send us a tweet: @theTotallyShow• for sales and advertising email sales@muddykneesmedia.com Hosted on Acast.

This week on Golazzo, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back to a time when it was always sunny in Filadelfia.Gigi Lentini took Torino to new heights, including the UEFA Cup Final, and ended up in a transfer tug of war between Milan and Juventus in the summer of 1992\. Lentini took Silvio Berlusconi’s helicopter to the San Siro for a world record fee. £13 million was so astronomical that it managed to offend the Pope.But his life was changed forever as he sped to visit Toto Schillaci’s wife in 1993 and wrote off his Porsche.

Gigi Lentini – the most expensive player in the world

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti this week salute Luca Toni. Not a lifeguard as some would have you believe but perhaps the last great Italian centre-forward.The big man was laying down outrageous goal scoring numbers before Ronaldo and Messi showed up. He was Serie A’s top scorer at the age of 29 and again at 38.Toni won the World Cup, the Golden Shoe and he scored a bundle for Bayern Munich, while also upsetting Louis Van Gaal and the Catholic Church.In short, he was so much more than the Italian Peter Crouch.Back in the present, the panel evaluate Italy’s striker search in finding the next Luca Toni.

From how his Roma side took Jose Mourinho’s all-conquering Inter to the limit, to his engineering of the great escape at Parma, as well as helping restore Juve’s battered reputation.Speaking of Juventus, they win at Milan as we discuss ultras - those that have a social conscience and those that drive tanks over cars.The managerial merry-go-round is in full swing in Serie A as Gian Piero Ventura proves he DOES know how to resign.Plus there’s the curious case of Frosinone’s number 89 and the panel reminisce about Rodrigo Taddei.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1a: Ranieri the Roman – Claudio’s time in the capital (00m 30s)• PART 1b: Ranieri masterminds the great escape at Parma – Claudio the gentleman (06m 30s)• PART 1c: Ranieri’s time at Juventus – restoring their reputation (09m 45s)• PART 1d: How will Ranieri fare at Fulham?

And we don’t mean penalties.And there’s the matter of a manager passing away on live television.Plus we look back at last weekend’s Serie A action and ahead to Milan versus Juventus.

Preziosi and his Genoa scandals

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti are back to discuss a man whose motto was ‘spend more than you earn.’Sergio Cragnotti was seen as a man from the future, with very few knowing where he got his money from. But as president of Lazio, he ploughed record amounts of cash towards the pursuit of silverware. And he forced Roma fans to boycott milk.Cragnotti’s reign began in jail and ended…in jailHe put together one of the most expensively assembled squads in history and then stole Sven-Goran Eriksson from under Blackburn’s noses and charged him with securing the title.We also analyse the latest action in Serie A, where Inter are the form team with six wins in a row.

Power, corruption and Sven – Cragnotti’s Lazio

As Lazio prepare to host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at a date that is burned into the brains of Inter fans around the world.With a first Serie A title in 13 years on the horizon, Inter entered the day top of the table and finished it 3rd. It was a day when Lazio fans were supporting Inter, hoping that Juventus wouldn’t be champions and desperate for rivals Roma not to retain their crown.But Ronaldo’s last game for the Nerazzurri ended in tears as Hector Cuper’s Inter conspired to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.Elsewhere, the panel look back at an impressive victory for the Old Lady at Old Trafford and how Jose Mourinho is being received in his former stomping ground of Italy right now.Plus James Horncastle has been to the Milan derby where Inter leave it late again.

5th May 2002 – the Inter bottlejob?

This week on Golazzo, we marvel at the player who has announced his retirement from football (for the third time), the one and only Antonio Cassano.The boy from Bari who loved football but probably not as much as he loved sex and sugar.Cassano packed more into his career than most – including heart surgery and over 700 women.Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti reminisce about a man who says if he made the most of his talent, he wouldn’t be on planet Earth right now.Elsewhere, Italy finally win a game as they beat Poland in the Nations League.

For many, it was the World Cup of Gazza, Higuita and Milla. But for Italy, it was the one that got away.Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at the iconic Italia 90 and what it meant to the host nation.We reveal the staggering cost of staging the tournament and for how long Italy as a country were counting that cost.It was the World Cup that built broadcasting careers and it was the World Cup that a glamorous-looking Italian side were supposed to winBaggio broke out, Schillaci scored a lot and Italy recruited an army of fans including Madonna.But it was Maradona who helped turn Italians against their own team as Argentina broke the host nation’s hearts in the semi-final.Fast-forwarding to the present day, we take a look at Roberto Mancini’s current Italy squad and ask whether or not Mancini understands the point of the Nations League.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: Italy prepare to host the World Cup at great expense (02m 45s)• PART 2a: Glamorous Italy enter the tournament as favourites (08m 50s)• PART 2b: Roberto Baggio breaks out (13m 45s)• PART 3a: Italy negotiate the group stage (16m 10s)• PART 3b: Gab Marcotti attends Italy v Uruguay (18m 10s)• PART 3c: The Toto Schillaci phenomenon (20m 25s)• PART 4a: Semi-final heartache against Maradona’s Argentina (22m 45s)• PART 4b: The immediate fall-out for Italian football (30m 30s)• PART 5: Mancini’s Italy in Nations League action (36m 20s)GET IN TOUCH:• find us on Facebook, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff.• send us a tweet: @theTotallyShow• for sales and advertising email sales@muddykneesmedia.com Hosted on Acast.

La fine

James Horncastle speaks to Watford's Nathaniel Chalobah about his 2015 loan spell at Napoli from Chelsea.  What was it like working with Maurizio Sarri?  How did the Partenopei fans react to this young and - at the time- relatively unknown English midfielder?  And how much of the world's finest pizza did he eat?

Nathaniel Chalobah's year in Naples

Jimbo is joined by Richard Hughes, James Horncastle and Gabriele Marcotti to discuss Dario Hübner, the unglamorous striker with perhaps the most remarkable story of them all.

Dario Hübner: The late blooming goal machine

Jimbo, Gabriele Marcotti and James Horncastle tell the story of Parma, one of the most exciting teams of the 90s, with players like GInafranco Zola, Tino Asprilla, Hernan Crespo, Tomas Brolin and (Dino) Baggio helping them to three European trophies in a decade (four if you count the Super Cup). But that all came crashing down with the club from Emilia-Romagna twice declaring bankruptcy, suffering relegation, and ultimately reforming in Serie D.

Milan-Arsenal ’95 and remembering Davide Astori

Giuseppe Signori is the star of the show this week as Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gabriele Marcotti look back at the career of one of the finest Italian strikers of all time.  But Beppe Gol’s route to the top was less than straight forward. Discarded by Inter for being too small, he spent seven years mooching around Serie B and C before finding his feet upfront for Foggia and then Lazio.  Here, we discuss his Lazio debut in 1992, his amazing penalty technique and the lifetime ban hanging over his head that threatens to overshadow his legacy.   RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1a: Signori’s Lazio debut: Sampdoria 3 - 3 Lazio, 6 September 1992 (01m 30s)• PART 1b: Beppe on penalties; being popular with the Ultras (06m 20s) • PART 1c: A life ban from football; his legacy on the pitch (11m 40s)• PART 1d: Ivano Bonetti, a plate of chicken, and other players from Samp ’92 (21m 40s)• PART 2: The Milan derby and a huge weekend in Serie A (26m 30s)PARISH NOTICES• want to get your shave on with [**Harry’s**?  Head here](http://try.harrys.com/en/gb/lp-redeem/?utm_medium=sponsorship-podcast&utm_source=Golazzo%20Totally%20Italian%20Football&utm_campaign&utm_content=-Jan18_tps-395_trial&name=Golazzo%20Podcast%20listeners).GET IN TOUCH:• find us on [**Facebook**, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff](https://www.facebook.com/thetotallyfootballshow/).• send us a [tweet: **@theTotallyShow**](http://www.twitter.com/thetotallyshow)• for sales and advertising email [sales@muddykneesmedia.com](mailto:sales@muddykneesmedia.com) Hosted on Acast.

The good, the bad and the Beppe

In the spotlight for this week’s Golazzo is perhaps the finest Italian player of all time, Roberto Baggio. It’s a story of huge triumphs and great goals, but too many what-could-have-beens as well as distrusting managers and one legendary penalty miss.
