Former Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner has sung the praises of Max Allegri and Antonio Conte.

The Swiss won Serie A titles with both coaches at Juve.

He told Radio Bianconera: "They are different, Conte manages to build a team, Max is the one who manages them.

"They are both phenomenal and they have won a lot. They are different, but I can't tell you which was the best for me. To grow, in my change, having Antonio up front, it made me grow a lot when I arrived."

On Conte, he also said: "The strongest message is the one he gave us on the pitch and in training, he prepared us a lot to be Juve players. For the newcomers who immediately understood what it meant to play for Juve. Playing on the wing I had him close, he gave us a big hand, an input to do better and bring the result home."
