Andrea Stramaccioni has paid tribute to Juventus coach Max Allegri.

The former Inter Milan coach has declared Allegri's season so far with Juve as a "masterpiece".

Stramaccioni is amazed how Allegri has guided Juve into a title challenging place despite the squad's consistent setbacks.

He told DAZN: "Remaining attached to Inter is part of Massimiliano Allegri's masterpiece.

"The feeling of Inter's performance is that the three points they score are always full three, while those of Juventus often come with great suffering."

Juve currently sit four points behind leaders Inter ahead of the second-half of the Serie A season.
