Brazil legend Cafu has backed Max Allegri to make a positive impact after returning as AC Milan manager, describing the Italian coach as a strong fit for the club. Cafu believes Allegri can restore the competitive mentality Milan need after an inconsistent campaign, Softfootball understands.
The former Rossoneri boss has returned to San Siro for another spell in charge. Allegri previously led Milan to the Serie A title and established the club as one of Italy’s strongest sides during his first tenure. His return is therefore accompanied by significant expectations from supporters and the club hierarchy.
Cafu, who enjoyed a successful spell with Milan, understands the pressure associated with managing the seven-time European champions. He believes Allegri’s experience and tactical approach can help the team become more competitive.
Milan have endured periods of inconsistency in recent seasons and missed opportunities to challenge consistently for major honours. The club’s new project will therefore require strong organisation and improved performances across the squad.
Allegri’s familiarity with Italian football should also help him implement his ideas quickly. However, he will still need to improve the team and ensure key players perform consistently.
