After Italy crashed out of the 2010 World Cup in the group stage, Roberto Baggio tried to save Italian football. What happened in Bosnia could've been prevented, but his 900 page report on changing Italian football was entirely ignored.
Baggio assembled a team of 50 collaborators - coaches, researchers, experts, and consultants - studying data and consulting coaches, scouts, academics etc.
They analyzed foreign models (e.g., from Spain, France, and Germany), and produced a comprehensive 900-page dossier.
