Massimiliano Allegri praised by former Cagliari owner Massimo Cellino

Former Cagliari and Brescia chairman Massimo Cellino spoke on Radio CRC about coach Massimiliano Allegri, highlighting his pragmatic approach and focus on the club’s interests. Cellino said Allegri “does the interests of the society, gives you players and does not complain” and praised his ability to concentrate, avoid distractions, and maximize the squad’s potential.

Cellino recalled Allegri’s early days at Cagliari, noting the five‑year contract extension he offered after a solid start, and recalled a conversation before a Milan‑Cagliari match where Allegri expressed feeling abandoned by the club. The former president’s comments underline his long‑standing respect for the coach’s methods and achievements in Italian football.
