At 78, legendary Arrigo Sacchi wants to return to coaching Ernesto Ruscio/Getty Images for Bocelli & Zanetti Night

Legendary Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi last sat on the bench in 2001, leading Parma for three matches. However, nearly a quarter-century away from management and his 78 years of age have not deterred him from dreaming of a comeback.

Details: Sacchi himself revealed that he has coaching options both in Italy and abroad, though he admitted that working in his home country might be too difficult for him.

Quote: "I’m thinking about returning to coaching, either in Italy or abroad. I have several options, but I don’t know if I could work in Italy because I love this country too much. I have one flaw: I always say what I think, and sometimes I have to say what I think about us, too.

And sometimes, I regret saying it. So, I try to avoid it at first. I’ve also had requests from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and many other countries," Sacchi said in an interview with Adnkronos.

Reminder: Sacchi’s greatest success came with AC Milan, where he won back-to-back European Cups in 1989 and 1990.
