Allegri signed on with the Bianconeri in July after Conte’s departure from the Turin side and has been able to help Italy’s reigning champions begin the 2014-15 season on the right foot with two victories in the Serie A and a Champions League group stage win over Malmo on Wednesday.
Buffon spoke to Sky Sport Italia about Allegri’s qualities as a tactician and compared him to former Juventus boss Conte, while praising both coaches for their ability to guide teams to success.
“Allegri is a coach who knows the tactical aspect of football really well, but also knows how to psychologically handle a team and an individual player, ” said the veteran goalkeeper.
“He’s very careful and picky when it comes to the smallest of details. I think that he’s less manic than Conte, who had a different way of leading this team, but that doesn’t take away from what he was able to do for us.
“Indeed, after so many years of being beaten down in a way, his arrival is something that can be useful to us.”
