Inter’s tripletta

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti examine the last Italian club to win the Champions League – and the only one to do the treble – Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri lost Zlatan but bought full-back Samuel Eto’o and an unwanted Wesley Sneijder, stumbling on the perfect formula for success. With the help of a volcano.

Maifredi and the next Juventus manager

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. How will Antonio Conte fare at Inter and who will fill the vacancies at Milan and Roma? RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Next Juventus manager – Pep or Sarri?

With Atalanta perhaps on the verge of Champions League football and just their second major trophy ever, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look at the history of Bergamo’s finest in Serie A. It’s a story that involves a thriving academy, match-fixing and Merthyr Tydfil. Plus a healthy soundtrack of songs either dedicated to or performed by the playing staff.

Malesani – the meme, the manager

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 [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Kaka’s white smoking jacket

Described by Carlo Ancelotti as the best no name player in the world, Kaka is the last player from Serie A to win the Ballon D’Or. Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at the Brazilian’s life, a life that has included near-paralysis, devout Christianity and very nearly a move to Manchester City.

As Ajax stun Juventus in their own backyard, Golazzo gets all nostalgic for the biggest Ajax Juve game of all time.

Can Juve afford to press the reset button? Plus Jimbo and Gab Marcotti look back at the last time Juve won the Champions League and the 1996 final against Juventus. Specifically we’re talking about Peruzzi’s salami, Vialli’s nerves and whether or not Juve were on something. Elsewhere, Juve also blew their chance to win Serie A last weekend.

Revisiting Roma 82-84

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti venture back to a time when Roma won the scudetto and embarked on their first ever European Cup campaign. Inspired by Swedish manager Nils Liedholm in the early 80s, the likes of Conti, Ancelotti and the original Falcao led the Giallorossi to the biggest game in club football, in their own stadium, against the mighty Liverpool.

All Hail Emperor Adriano

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. Juventus’s Moise Kean suffers racist abuse at Cagliari and the reaction of many, including team-mate Leo Bonucci, leaves a lot to be desired. And the airwaves on Golazzo turn (black and) blue as Luciano Spalletti opens the door for the outcast Mauro Icardi. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Adriano’s legacy and strengths as a player (00m 45s) • PART 2a: Adriano arrives at Inter Milan and announces himself at the Bernabeu (03m 30s) • PART 2b: Adriano’s spells at Fiorentina & Parma (06m 45s) • PART 3a: Adriano returns to Inter as the Emperor and makes his mark with Brazil (09m 00s) • PART 4a: Adriano’s life transformed by the death of his father (13m 00s) • PART 4b: Adriano’s personal life deteriorates (18m 00s) • PART 5a: Adriano disappears from Inter and moves back to Brazil (24m 00s) • PART 5b: Adriano: Pro Evo legend (26m 00s) • PART 6a: Moise Kean racially abused at Cagliari (28m 00s) • PART 6b: Roma’s continued crisis (36m 30s) • PART 6c: The door opens for Icardi at Inter (40m 30s) 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 [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Kickstarting calcio at Spain 82

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. Before THAT Tardelli celebration in the final. This is the story of Rossi, Gentile, Conti, Zoff and more.

An Oscar-winning producer turned eccentric football club supremo, life under Gori for La Viola was a rollercoaster from 1993 to 2002. Batistuta, Laudrup, Effenberg, Rui Costa – all players that Fiorentina fans could enjoy. They also got relegated and went out of business. Plenty going on in Serie A.

Tino tales - the astonishing Asprilla

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti try to wrap their heads around the enigma that is Faustino Asprilla. The Colombian achieved legendary status at Parma, with silverware and sensational goals galore in the early 90s, before a move to Newcastle where narrative dictates his introduction cost them the Premier League title. But it’s Asprilla’s antics off the field that catch the eye as much as his talent on the pitch. We celebrate the dinosaur-dressing, gun-loving condom salesman in all his glory. In Serie A, everybody’s raving about Zaniolo, while there’s breaking news of Icardi at Inter. Plus what’s Anne Hathaway’s connection to Palermo?

Is Moggi one of Italian football’s legendary villains? Or is he merely the face of a much wider problem in Serie A at that time?

Shoe salesman turned tactical icon – the Sacchi story

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.

Serie A so far and Welsh wizards of the past

After a winter break, Serie A is back this weekend so it’s the welcome return of Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti on Golazzo. With the second half about to kick off, we ask who will win the race for 4th, will Bologna sort themselves out and stay up, and how much does Ronaldo have left in the tank? Plus we study the signings being made in January. Muriel, Gabbiadini and, er, Holdsworth… The biggest deal of all this month could well be Aaron Ramsey’s move from Arsenal to Juventus. We look back at the legacies of the previous Welsh players to have donned the black and white in Turin – the gentle giant John Charles and the misquoted Ian Rush.

Contrary Vieri and heartbreak for Inter & Napoli

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. Plus Prandelli is the latest manager to take on the chalice at Genoa.

Sackings & sexual conquests – Zamparini’s Palermo

With the announcement that Maurizio Zamparini has sold Palermo to a consortium involving David Platt, the panel of Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at Zamparini’s time in Sicily. We bring you the whole story. 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 [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
