:thumbsup:

Genuinely think majority of them have little to no idea at just how good serie a was back in the days.

i'd even go so far as to say that some of the younger viewers are unfamiliar or unaware of things that they have not witnessed

Great article on the best football manager of this decade: https://t.co/Io2h6GCMBu

I’m happy how my thinking resonates with his thoughts on the over emphasis of rigid tactics and the attempts to make football a science with clear rights and wrongs.

I'd put him second to Guardiola.

Allegri didn't draw enough graphs and tables at Coverciano.

It's clear he's incapable.

Can you actually post the full article here?

No fun posting an article behind a paywall.

allegri is a consistent, tactically flexible coach who took over a powerhouse and continued their success in a league where the opponents are far behind.

excellent manager, yes...best of the decade? hell no.


he doesn't get any stick for playing an awful brand of football IMO, while mourinho gets murdered for it, even though juve have the tools to play good football.

Allegri has achieved a respectable level of success in Europe, but he absolutely needs a trophy outside Italy to be considered truly elite

Completely fair except for the last part

Jose gets murdered for it because his results aren’t there. Jose was considered a genius when his anti football was taking out a prime Barca

I was a huge fan of Max when he was at Milan and the cunt is doing an amazing job at Juve. But to be considered THE BEST of the decade you have to dominate more than one league and (at least or) win CL.

Come on seriously...in 10 years you have to win Champions league once.

Ronaldo is playing like shit, Costa on the other hand looks unplayable, great talent.

Still early days, but it would be funny if he flopped in Serie A.
