Arrigo Sacchi (born 1 April 1946) is an Italian former football executive and manager, best known for having managed AC Milan and the Italy national team. Regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time, his Milan side (1987–1991) is widely regarded to be one of the greatest club squads of all time.

Sacchi won the Serie A title in his debut season and then dominated European football by winning back to back European Cups in 1989 and 1990. From 1991 to 1996, he was head coach of Italy and led them to the 1994 FIFA World Cup final, where they lost to Brazil in a penalty shoot-out.
