Nereo Rocco: The Milan Legend's All-Time Best XI

Nereo Rocco is number 14 in 90min's Top 50 Great Managers of All Time series. Follow the rest of the series over the course of the next three weeks. You can find Wilf Dutton's Rocco career overview here.

In two separate spells at AC Milan, Nereo Rocco led the club to their first two European Cup triumphs, in turn presiding over two of the greatest teams in Italian football history.

That, in case you're a Calcio Luddite, is quite the history to etch yourself in to. Naturally, much of the attention on the Catenaccio master's all-time XI will go towards the defence (and it's worthy, believe me), but don't negate the rest, as so many have in the intervening years of Cantenaccio miseducation.
