Juventus defender Danilo: Allegri best man-manager I've had

Danilo insists Max Allegri is the right coach for Juventus.

The Brazil defender says Allegri is very different to recent appointments he's experienced.

He told The Athletic: "(Maurizio) Sarri and (Andrea) Pirlo were different but they thought about football in the same way.

"They wanted short passes and for everyone to play close together and build through thirds. Allegri sees football more directly, with long balls, with aggression, which is another way of win. I learned from all of them but I think Allegri is the right person for Juventus at the moment.

"He is an incredible 'manager'. Out of everyone I've worked with he is the best man-manager and this shouldn't be taken for granted because managing relationships with human beings is not easy.

"I don't know if other coaches would have been capable of what he is doing, motivating players in such a way as to stay focused on the pitch."
