Former Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi has once again taken a subtle swipe at Juventus manager Max Allegri, critiquing his managerial style and approach to the game.
Sacchi’s comments imply that Allegri’s coaching methods may not be as exciting and dynamic as some other contemporary coaches, particularly in an era where many teams employ high-pressing, attacking football.
Allegri has often been associated with a more defensive-minded approach, which proved successful in winning several trophies during his initial tenure at Juventus. However, Sacchi suggests that this tactical preference could be limiting the impact of attacking and technically gifted players within the team.
Sacchi said as reported by Tuttomercatoweb:
Usually, Max’s teams have a clear supremacy in the defensive phase, leaving the attacking action to the individual players’ inventions. If these individuals find their way to the goal, all is well. However, if they struggle or are unavailable due to injury (for example, Pogba), the team lacks a plan B, and this is a serious problem.”
Sacchi’s remarks highlight a difference in football philosophies and preferences, hinting at his belief that a more attacking-minded approach could benefit players with offensive prowess and technical skills.
Juve FC Says
Sacchi has a good managerial CV and qualifies to criticise Allegri, but the people whose opinion matters the most are the club’s owners.
If they are happy with the coach, then he is in a good place and his job is secured.
He has always towed the line for management. Sacchi nailed it. Allegri succeeded when he had individuals who created their own goals and openings. Tevez is the best example. A pure goal scorer. I remember when Allegri criticized Dybala for dropping too far back to get the ball. Of course he did, no one could get the ball forward. Allegri’s style is outdated and all he does is suffocate his own offense.
Which is why Allegri is such a bad mentor for young attacker who need guiding to develope. And it`s such a ironic paradox, that the coach who is one of the worst in developing youngsters in midfield and attack, is the coach of the new and young Juve. No need to look further than Vlahovic and Chiesa if you wonder about the result.
Exactly you said it, the people’s opinions, go and see on Instagram and see that all Juve fans want Vlahovic to stay.
Our technical players suffer under him, he’s the problem, not them.
He did a great job before, and that’s because we has a great defence.
The story is different, stop defending Allegri, he must go otherwise we’ll never improve.
