# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Arrigo Sacchi was born 1 April 1946 and worked for years as a shoe salesman, never playing professional football. When critics questioned his credentials, he shot back: "I never realised that in order to become a jockey you have to have been a horse first." He took over AC Milan in 1987 and won Serie A in his debut season, then dominated Europe with consecutive European Cups in 1989 and 1990 — his Milan squad from those years is widely regarded as one of the greatest club sides of all time. From 1991 to 1996 he coached Italy, leading them to the 1994 World Cup final, where they lost to Brazil on penalties. He once said football is "the most important of the least important things in life."
