Cambridge United manager Mark Bonner is following in the footsteps of some of the game’s great minds.
Like legendary AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi, Bonner has not kicked a ball in professional football.
‘I never realised that in order to become a successful jockey you have to have been a horse first,’ Sacchi said when his credentials were questioned.
He earned a living as a shoe salesman before coaching in Italy’s semi-professional leagues and working his way up to the AC Milan job, where he won the European Cup in 1989 and 1990.
