Serie A’s Praise for Allegri’s Impact
“The influence of Massimiliano Allegri on Milan’s excellent start to the season is crystal clear. The Tuscan coach immediately managed to transform the Rossoneri as if he had skillfully tailored suits for the players taking to the field. He highlighted the qualities of individual players and instilled in them a winning mentality, a sense of sacrifice, and determination in a short period of time—these are all key traits to achieving great goals. Allegri’s return to the bench brought back to Serie A one of its most successful coaches in history. With his tactical knowledge, experience, and ability to read the game, he has pushed Milan back into the race for the most prestigious trophies,” praised Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Serie A, regarding Allegri.
Rossoneri’s Double Award Success
Alongside Allegri’s recognition, Christian Pulisic has also been honoured as Serie A’s number one player for September, underlining Milan’s commanding presence both on the field and in individual accolades during the early phase of the campaign.
