As MilanNews recall, Allegri has often shown courage in launching young players at key moments of the seasons, both in his first experience at Milan and later during his years in Turin.
For example, the current Milan coach was decisive in the explosion of youngsters like Mattia De Sciglio and Stephan El Shaarawy. The Italian full-back made his debut as a youngster in the distant 2011-12 season, only to then meet Allegri again several years later at Juventus.
El Shaarawy’s break out came in 2012-13, with Allegri as Milan coach. Il Faraone led and dragged the team, also with the help of a super Mario Balotelli, towards the conquest of qualification for the Champions League, which came on the last day against Siena.
Camarda the next?
At Juventus, Allegri brought through some younger players from the Next Gen side like Kenan Yildiz among others, giving space to talents in a competitive, difficult and high-pressure environment.
Now, Francesco Camarda’s time may have come. After a year as an apprentice between the Primavera, Milan Futuro (not as much) and the first team, the 17-year-old striker is ready to make a leap forward.
The new sporting director Igli Tare met with Francesco Camarda’s agent on Monday, and one report claimed that a loan is the most realistic possibility for the striker in 2025-26.
With the expert guidance of Allegri and his philosophy of gradual insertions and increasing responsibilities, Camarda could find the right space to blossom. Milan loos to the future, and with Allegri on the bench, the youngsters have a real chance again. Camarda included.
