"The derby between Inter and AC Milan is also a battle of coaches who both know their clubs well. With Massimiliano Allegri, there is cause for optimism too. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, you never forget your first derby. If you win it while you're top of the table, even more so. On November 14, 2010, in the 12th game of the season (like on Sunday), Allegri faced Inter for the first time as Milan boss."
"The Milan-Inter return match on 2 April 2011 was decidedly more enjoyable, effectively steering the Scudetto toward the Rossoneri side of the Naviglio. It was round 31, with Leonardo's Nerazzurri -inundated with boos and insults from the Curva Sud - just two points behind the league leaders. Milan were struggling after a defeat in Palermo and because of Ibrahimovic's suspension. The wind was blowing toward Inter winning to take a huge step towards the title, but instead it was an 'Allegrio' masterpiece par excellence."
Allegri's first derby as Milan coach came on November 14, 2010, when Milan won 1-0 thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic penalty. The match featured a violent episode in which Materazzi was hospitalised after a taekwondo foul by Ibrahimovic. The Milan-Inter return on April 2, 2011, in round 31 produced a 3-0 Milan win that shifted the Scudetto momentum. Alexandre Pato scored twice, Cassano added a penalty, and Chivu was sent off, giving Allegri the impetus to push Milan toward their first Scudetto under his leadership.
