l'Allenatore dei Sogni (The Dream Coach)

Italy | Director: Christian Nicoletta | Running time: 51 mins

Sergio Vatta employed his poetic idea of soccer as coach of the Torino FC youth team from 1976 to 1991 and of the Italian Youth National teams from 1991 to 1997. While there, he developed such players as Dino Baggio and Diego Fuser, and coached the likes of Gianluigi Buffon and Francesco Totti.

Vatta invented a new approach in sport education, with a strong focus on the personal and social aspects of the players. The film is a discourse about soccer but also an invitation to believe again in the dreams we had as kids.
