Maurizio Sarri (64 Viewers)

He didn't really change formations all that often though, rotating isn't trying to mask predictability IMO. He started with Conte's 352 then switched to a back 4. Overall, players rotating, his tactics in attack hardly ever changed once he realized a formation was't going to work.

Fair play. But you know what I mean. And I agree that his subs were kinda predictable.

Very unexpected? They had Pato, Ibra, Robinho, Cassano and some other guys upfront. With Inter selfdestructing, it was no contest that season.

Only players from his title team that continued playing serious football in serious clubs being in important roles were Ibra, Silva and Pirlo (injured 4 months in Scudetto season). They were a washed, old, expensive team that soon fell apart. They haven't won the title in 7 years before him and haven't finished above 3rd 4 years straight before him.

His ingame management and how he prepared the team before top games was usually pretty good.

Sarri will stick to his 1 gameplan for the full 90 minutes, if it works it works, if not, don't expect him to make adjustments.

Agree. For the most part, aside from he Bonucci/Dybala incidents, the players gave him a lot of respect.

I do appreciate the attacking subs he makes though. That's fresh and nice

Sarri won Premier League title and Europa League title.

Allegri won Serie A title and Supercopa italia.

Why are you just outright lying now?

Yeah, 2.5 world class players + a group of still good/very good players that used to be world class or close to it. I'd say thats a solid Scudetto contender, especially considering their main competition Inter fell apart. Allegri did good, but it was no cinderella story

Maybe focus less on names and actually how they were performing before and more importantly after him? They were extremely average and over the hill team. Not close to best team worthy until he got them in order.

Keep it up smoker.

Brought new life to this team

Does it have to be a Cinderella story for it to be considered a success? Where were all those WC, good and very good players before and after him?

Lol, of course not, it was a success, just like Allegri winning at Juve. However that team winning Scudetto wasnt a surprise, for me it was more of a surprise they didnt win the next year

For Serie A standards they were not average lol, easily top 2 side in the league

They were 3rd team coming into the season. Both Inter and Roma were considered better than them. It's not like Leicester winning it all, but again - Milan and a lot of those same players haven't won it for 7 years before, didn't come close really.

Them not winning it next year was a surprise then, but with the benefit of hindsight and seeing what Juve did since then and how many WC players came out of that first Conte Scudetto it became clear we were underrated, by our own fans too. Milan won same amount of points in 2011/12 (84) as they did the year before. We were just better.

Inter was starting a season after historic treble so in no way was expected that Milan would beat them to title. Iirc Pato was injured and barely played and they had a lot of ageing players, way past their peak, which reflected on their results in the following years. But when talking about Max, my first memory of him were during 2009/10 season and our away game against Cagliari. We lost that afternoon and it was impressive how easily they anticipated all our attempts and shut us down. I was thinking back then, this is what a great coach can do with vastly inferior team. It wasnt matter of luck but they genuinely looked a better side.

For the time being Allegri and Sarri cannot be compared. Its foolish considering what Allegri has achieved here and his title with Milan trumps Sarri's EL trophy.

With the same benefit of hindsight, Roma and Inter, who you list as being number 1 and 2 that season, were both garbage

I dont care much about Allegris Scudetto in Milan, but him winning 5 with Juve is what sets him apart for me, for sure Sarri has some catching up to do if he wants to be mentioned alongside Allegri

Im not, i thought he won, I mistaken him with Conte. You can see another post where I corrected myself

Allegri was predictable too

the guy who played 38 different lineups? lol

His style did become stale last season, but it’s crazy to say that for his first four seasons.

It's the haircut. Easy mistake to make.

They basically the same, but Sarri has the nicer hair.
