Alberto Zaccheroni (Italian pronunciation: ; born 1 April 1953) is an Italian football manager, formerly in charge of the United Arab Emirates national football team.
He is best known for having managed a number of top clubs in Serie A, and won a scudetto with A.C. Milan in 1999. Among other notable clubs coached by Zaccheroni include Lazio, Inter and Juventus, all as interim coach for part of a season. He won the Asian Cup in 2011 with the Japan National Team. He is also renowned for his unconventional and trademark 3–4–3 tactical system.
Zaccheroni's playing career was cut short by injury, and he became a manager at the relatively young age of 30 with amateurs Cesenatico. He won Serie C2 and Serie C1, the fourth and the third highest football leagues in Italy. His managerial career took off during the Serie A 1997–98 season with Udinese.
Zaccheroni was appointed manager of Udinese Calcio in 1995 Serie A. The 1996–97 season saw Udinese qualify for the UEFA Cup. The following season, they managed a third-place finish behind Juventus and Internazionale, largely thanks to Oliver Bierhoff's 27 goals.
