his second reign here is so boring. don't know whats worse watching allegri juve or watching brock lesnar as champion on wwe.
Allegri had his issues during his first reign. Yeah, it was tedious and defensive, but it largely got the results we needed. And surely having Marotta around helped. But here's the thing... he did far better than many of our prior coaches (see: Conte) when paired up against worthy CL competition. He even was praised at a time for having a rather chess-like variance to his gameplan to keep opponents on their toes.
We got tired of his Serie A grind and he was not reaching next-level in the CL, so we canned him. Fine.
But here's the strangest part about his second reign. It was almost as if competent coaches could have a career-ending ACL injury, because that what seems like happened to him. Sure, his second stint had fewer resources and more clowns in the Jj clown car to contend with. But routinely underperforming as well as tedious and aggrevating... that underperforming was his new trick. Which he then perfected in European play.
I don't know if it was the time off, the divorce, banging too many trannies, getting rejected by Conte's follicle doctor, or all of the above. But Samson had his haircut, and he's been a miserable coach ever since.
