And this is why i think the coaching position is one of the last of our worries. I still can't wait to see Conte lose his **** if a CL call goes against him. Then Juve's true lack of class will be known to all outside of italy...

[Jack Sparrow]

Nah...watch him then hide behind how Juve have a long way to go because they are still rebuilding blah blah. Doesn't matter they have spend 120+ MM on the market.

How are good temper and coaching skills related? Allegri might be a good boy, but he's a mediocre coach, and that's what matters in this game. I'd rather have a tw@t like Mourinho as coach than a good-for-nothing n00b like Allegri.

[Jack Sparrow]

Ok..now while I wouldn't term him a good-for-nothing, sure there are better coaches around.

I would happily take a nice guy with a footballing aesthetic that pleases me in exchange for Max. But I wouldn't take Mourinho.

He is a winning coach for sure, but there are just too many reasons to count why I wouldn't want him.

Interview with Allegri

"Many people think that football and being a coach is just about tactics and schemes. Instead, it’s a simple thing where the minds of the players matter a lot. You have around 30 players, they’re just boys, some of them have problems with their parents, and others stay out late very often"

"As a coach you have to have the sensibility to understand when it’s right to raise your voice and when to speak in a calm manner. As a coach, you have to understand when to encourage the players and when to yell at them. The mental input has an effect on their performance. If the player is tired or distracted then he won't perform well on the pitch"

"I don’t get involved in the players’ private lives. I just tell them that it’s important to behave well. I also tell the players to make sacrifices because living the good life at the nightclubs won’t make you perform at a high level."

"There's no friction between Pato and I. The fact that he's with Barbara Berlusconi has no effect on my decisions. I feel sorry for Pato that he has spent more time in the infirmary than on the pitch."

"I'm studying English. I have two lessons per week, and I did my first interview in English with The Sun before the Arsenal-game."

"I like to drive fast, to feel the shivers when you drive a Porsche with 270 km/h, even if it's only for 3 km. I constantly get fines when I drive. I once got a fine because I thought that Via Montenapoleone was a two-way street."

"If I'm good in the kitchen? I can make oven-baked bream fish with potatoes and pasta with tomato-sauce. Tasteful and healthy."

"I've never smoked a cigarette, never smoked a pipe, never drank hard liquor. If I was in the kitchen and someone brought me cocaine, then I would probably mistake it for flour."

"I started playing in a club when I was 9. I adored Platini and I supported Juventus back then. My debut in Serie A, as a player, was vs. Milan. My first goal in Serie A was also vs. Milan. And I got my first point with Cagliari against Milan. Like it was written in the stars."

"If Berlusconi calls me before the matches? Always. He always asks me about the players. He’s affectionate, like a fan. I've been to Berlusconi's villa in Arcore 3 times. 1st time was the May 25 2010. He listened to me & his simplicity surprised me. I listen to Berlusconi and I follow him. He knows and understands football."

"Berlusconi once told me fix myself up a bit, after a press conference where I didn't look good. Now I always have a comb with me."

"Why they called me an anchovy in Livorno? Because I was tall and skinny. I weighed nothing. When I was at Pescara, Galeone called me "the conviction", because I sometimes made bad fouls."

"In Serie B, I root for Pescara and Sassuolo. My Livorno is no longer capable for fighting for the promotion to Serie A."

"I miss the sea and its freedom and sounds. And the scent that arises from the sea when the wind blows. I have a private spot in the sea on a reef, where nobody can see you. That's where I go in the summer to relax."

"I always stay up late after a game, whether we've won or not. The night before a game I go to bed at 23 & I sleep uninterrupted. Other nights, when I can't sleep, I listen to Mina, Renato Zero and Lucio Dalla."

"Where I see myself 20 years from now? At the sea. Yes, at the sea in Livorno."

Gee, this Allegri fella has turned into quite a like-able character. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Outside of his footballing philosophy, that is.

[William405]

Not good enough,not good enough!

[acid911]

What? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

He has grown in stature as a coach, at least as far as his interviews and media face is concerned. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) You compare this interview with his first few words to the press (two years back, when he first joined), and they are a miles apart. Sure, I may question his footballing and game tactics, but what's true is true.

[MarcoMilano]

I don't want Allefri Anymore in Milan. He gave away Pirlo. Remeber Allegri told Pirlo that he wouldn't play anymore has playmaker for Milan but only as side mildfielder. (that's why Pirlo went to Juventus) In his 4-3-3 there is non place for players like Pirlo. Allegri dosn't want the quality in the Middle but only muscle!! In the end..Allegri is only good for small teams.

Welcome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/king.gif) Pretty much what most here have been saying for the past few months!

Awesome interview.. I particularly liked this part:

"I like to drive fast, to feel the shivers when you drive a Porsche with 270 km/h, even if it's only for 3 km. I constantly get fines when I drive. I once got a fine because I thought that Via Montenapoleone was a two-way street."

Aside from the first 3 paragraphs, of course.

He likes to drive fast, that's why he always plays runners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I hope he's driving a Porsche when he beats it from Milanello once and for all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
