Antonio Conte was among many leading figures in Italian football to wish Arrigo Sacchi a happy 75th birthday on Thursday.

Sacchi is widely regarded as one of football’s greatest innovators, introducing Europe to a revolutionary brand of attacking football during his time in charge of AC Milan.

He led the Rossoneri to back-to-back European Cups in 1989 and 1990 and also enjoyed a stint in charge of Italy’s national team, taking the Azzurri to the 1994 FIFA World Cup final in the United States.

Inter boss Conte wrote on Instagram: “Happy birthday, coach!

“It’s always great to talk to you and receive your precious advice.”
