"In times of crisis, having a coach like Allegri at the helm often means having a leader that is using to coping with delicate and complicated situations, thanks to astute management of the dressing room at human level."
"Since taking over last June, the coach has successfully restructured a club that had been left in shambles by the previous season's ill-advised decisions, which ended with a disastrous eighth-place finish. He got it back on its feet first through the credibility of his project, then through consistent results on the pitch and a long unbeaten run."
"Indeed, one of those periods has arrived now, with three games remaining in the season. The Milan side of recent weeks seems to have lost that hunger, concentration and sharpness that characterised the entire first half of the season."
"Allegri reminded his players of this already in Reggio Emilia, shouting in the dressing room: "This is not who we are." His Milan can't be the lacklustre and disorganised side of recent matches, especially since qualification for next season's Champions League is a must."
AC Milan are struggling, but the club leadership believes Massimiliano Allegri can lead them out of the rut. Allegri is viewed as a coach experienced in handling delicate, complicated situations by managing the dressing room at a human level. Since taking over last June, he has restructured a club left in poor condition, rebuilding credibility through consistent results and a long unbeaten run. The current problem is a loss of hunger, concentration, and sharpness in recent matches with only three games remaining. Allegri responded with direct messages to players, including a dressing-room outburst and a motivational session at Milanello focused on personal accountability and a unified address to the squad.
