"Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri are both coaches hailing from Tuscany, but that is where the similarities between the two end. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, their principles when it comes to football are very different. For Allegri what matters is the end (the result) and not the means (the style of play). For Sarri, there's no true victory without playing well and entertaining."
"In the summer, Allegri accepted the Rossoneri's offer, among many others. He needed a challenge to truly prove himself and entered into the Scudetto mission without, on paper, having the best team. He cleared up all doubts with a smile, tidying up the defence and bringing the best out of stars. While Milan fans were wondering what would become of the team which finished eighth last year, Allegri showed up smiling and relaxed at the presentation as the new coach."
"The shock following the defeat against Cremonese was immediately mended with a call to go and get Adrien Rabiot. With him, he created a perfect tailor-made suit for Milan: the low block, the support of the wing-backs, the orchestration of Luka Modric, and lethal counter-attacks. Milan are second with 18 goals scored and nine conceded, with six clean sheets this season."
Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri are both Tuscan coaches with contrasting philosophies. Allegri emphasizes outcomes over style, focusing on defensive organization, wing-back support, and efficient counter-attacks. Sarri prioritizes attractive, entertaining football and views stylistic quality as essential to true victory. The two coaches meet for their 20th head-to-head match, with Allegri holding 11 wins, Sarri four and four draws. Their first encounter occurred on November 16, 2003 when Sangiovannese hosted Aglianese to a 0-0 draw. Recent notable meetings include Juventus-Lazio 3-1 in September 2023. Allegri reinforced Milan defensively and added Adrien Rabiot to shape the current system.
