Arsene Wenger has often been hailed as a visionary, a man who changed Premier League football for the better. But the Frenchman never lifted Europe’s grandest prize. Even Pep Guardiola has been labelled as the father of modern football tactics but has failed in the UEFA Champions League for twelve years now.  Yet, coaches like Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, who have been criticised in the past for their approaches to football, have been far more successful on the continental stage. But can the same be said for domestic competitions?  Are adaptable tacticians more successful than philosophy-driven ideologues?  In the latest episode of the TFA Podcast, host Adam Scully is joined by Coach Scott Martin as Scott dissects his latest magazine piece titled, “Ideologues vs Tacticians: The battle for domestic and continental titles,” whereby he analyses 15 years' worth of data to decipher whether adaptable tacticians are more successful than the Wenger’s of the football world.  The data will shock you!  Please leave a five-star rating on the podcast if you enjoyed!
