Former Juventus forward Fabrizio Ravanelli has claimed that new boss Massimiliano Allegri has the ability to achieve great things with his new team.
The Perugia native also went on to comment on the departure of Antonio Conte from the helm, who led the bianconeri to three straight scudetti.
“I think that the ceasing of the relationship between Antonio and the side has hurt both sides,” he said in an interview to sportal.it.
“Allegri is a tenacious coach with plenty of character who can do well. We’re talking about a coach who has already won and someone who can provide continuity to a group of winners.”
The former AC Ajaccio boss went on to discuss his preferred choices for the Italian national team position, left vacant by the outgoing Cesare Prandelli.
“I hope that Conte will guide La Nazionale, but I also like Roberto Mancini,” he said.
“I’m not sure if Conte will have the strength to wait for a call from a big club or to immediately accept a possible call from the [Italian Football] Federation.”
