Allegri’s staff at Milan
According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews), the new coach will have carte blanche when it comes to bringing in the collaborators that he trusts, and he asked for a highly respected staff.
He wants Francesco Magnanelli at Milan, the former captain of Sassuolo and currently head coach of Juventus Primavera. Furthermore, Marco Landucci should also be part of the team (probably as assistant). Then there is Simone Padoin, the former Juventus player who Allegri esteems.
MilanNews report that Landucci will indeed by assistant coach, while Aldo Dolcetti and Maurizio Trombetta as technical assistants and Simone Folletti (responsible for athletic preparation) will follow him without hesitation.
The positions of Magnanelli and Padoin – with the latter being the assistant to the former with Juventus Primavera – are still in doubt. At the moment Milan are in negotiations with the Bianconeri to try and get both.
Then, of course, there is Mauro Tassotti. During his first spell with Milan, Allegri had Tassotti as one of his right-hand men and he is already at the club given he is a technical collaborator for the Futuro.
Tassotti is coming back. We will have a Milan legend in the house.
I just wish Milan can go for Jobe Bellingham…the perfect replacement for our lovely Tijjani Reinjers..watch Jobe Bellingham closely see what I’m telling
