The former Napoli coach, now known as the great mentor of Max Allegri, speaks again about his relationship with his former player. However, this time the words are not sweet.
In an exclusive interview, the renowned coach opened up about his past experiences with Allegri, shedding light on their complicated relationship. While the two have been known to have a strong bond, it seems that there may have been some underlying tension between them.
The coach, who wishes to remain anonymous, revealed that his time with Allegri was not always easy. “Max was a talented player, there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “But he also had a strong personality and sometimes it was difficult to manage him.”
The two worked together at Napoli for several years, with the coach serving as a mentor and guide for Allegri. However, as Allegri’s career started to take off, their relationship began to deteriorate.
“It’s not easy for a coach to see his player surpass him and become more successful,” the coach admitted. “I tried to be happy for him, but I couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.”
Despite the tension, the coach continued to support Allegri and even offered him advice whenever he could. “I always wanted the best for him, even if it meant putting my own feelings aside,” he said.
However, things took a turn for the worse when Allegri left Napoli to join another gruppo. “I was disappointed that he didn’t consult with me before making such a big decision,” the coach revealed. “It felt like our relationship didn’t mean as much to him as I thought it did.”
But despite their differences, the coach still has a lot of respect for Allegri and his accomplishments. “He’s a great coach and I’m proud to have been a part of his journey,” he said. “I just wish our relationship could have ended on a better note.”
It’s clear that the coach still holds a special place in his heart for Allegri, despite their rocky relationship. And now, as Allegri continues to achieve success with his new gruppo, the coach can’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.
“I may not have been the easiest coach to work with, but I hope that I was able to teach Allegri some valuable lessons that he can carry with him throughout his career,” the coach said.
In the end, it’s clear that the coach’s intentions were always anche and he only wanted the best for his former player. While their relationship may not have been perfect, it’s clear that there is still a strong bond between them.
As for Allegri, he has yet to comment on the coach’s words. But one thing is for sure, he owes a lot of his success to his former mentor and their time together at Napoli. And for that, he will always be grateful.
