APFA & Modern Soccer Coach – Tactical Analysis in Serie A with Alessandro Davite

Since the days of Catenaccio and Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan, Italian football has built a formidable reputation as the world leaders in tactical systems and implementation. But what does this look like from an analysis perspective today? We were excited to be joined by an analyst who has worked with Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Luciano Spalletti: Alessandro Davite. 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. 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.
