There's no doubt that Allegri is a great coach. In 2010-2011, he also led AC Milan to victory, winning both the Serie A title and the Italian Super Cup in the same season. So anyone who doubts this coach is probably forgetting that history.
And there's an even more extraordinary achievement Allegri achieved in Serie A, when he was still the coach of Juventus. He led Juventus to five consecutive championships:
- 2014-15
- 2015-16
- 2016-17
- 2017-18
- 2018-19
In those five seasons, he led Juventus to consecutive championships, not just in Serie A but also in the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup. So, if we're talking about coaches who know Italian football best, Allegri is undoubtedly one of them. He has also been awarded the best coach in Serie A several times, in 2011, 2015, 2016, and 2018. He has many more accomplishments that I can't list here. 1
And I'm confident he will most likely succeed in reviving AC Milan.
Allegri is indeed a coach who has achieved great success in Serie A. But remember, things move on, and other great coaches are emerging in Serie A, which creates competition among coaches. Strategy battles and the like become more intense. So sometimes a coach who was once great can't be a benchmark for whether he will remain great today. Because everything is constantly evolving. And only a coach who can keep up with developments and develop better strategies from season to season will succeed.
I also have high hopes for AC Milan. But I don't think we need to overestimate this.
