Argentina revolutionise futsal

Diego Giustozzi was a tennis player and customs agent before deciding to focus his energy on his main passion: futsal. A perfectionist and always eager to learn, the 38-year-old was the mastermind behind Argentina's historic triumph. He observed first-hand how Manuel Pellegrini, Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique and Gerardo Martino, among others, go about their work, and adapted his findings to futsal.
