Imagine if a manager on his way to winning his fifth consecutive Serie A title were to be suddenly dismissed. Now, imagine if all that was written about this were a couple of paragraphs. And that this manager would struggle to find another job. It wouldn't happen, right?
Well, it did for Carlo Carcano, the architect of Juventus' golden cycle in the mid-thirties. Over the years, Carcano's story had gone forgotten. Until now. In this heavily researched book, Paul Grech details Carcano's career, beliefs and achievements as well as the alleged reason that led to him being shunned by Italian football. It also shows how he then transferred his skills to develop the game in a quiet corner of the Italian peninsula where his influence survives till this day.
