Allegri inherited a well functioning machine from Conte, slowly brought in his own style..Pirlo inherited a squad of chimps from a man who had no business even being here. No a pirlo fan but it's not even close.

Slowly got fixated with khedira and MAtuidi you mean?

he needs proper backing.

allegri did suffer from the italian mentality of defense first, but he also did the best he could with the squads he had, although i think the barca game we should have played better in final.

how much can you do with pjanic and khedira in midfield? not much despite what some memebers here will make it seem.

he should be given proper backing. let him sign the players he wants
Did wonders in 2017, with a midfield of Pjanic, Khedira, Marchisio, Stururo and Lemina.

Nobody else would have thought of playing Mandzukic as winger. Max is a genius.
True but it worked because those were all good players. If he had Candreva, Eder, McKennie, Jorginho instead we wouldn't have gone far. But ofcourse it takes a great coach to figure out a way to play his best players, even though they technically shouldn't coexist, like Max did with Mandzu, Dybi and Higgy, or DA and Cuads on the right, or Pjanic-Sami in a double pivot. Some ordinary coach would bench Mandzu, add another mid for extra cover, bench one of Cuads/DA etc

Like the ordinary coach who replaced him :)
Unfortunately, a complete rookie like Pirlo makes me miss having even an ordinary coach.
