Massimiliano Allegri's stint at AC Milan has come under scrutiny following his appointment as Napoli's new coach. The former Milan boss faced criticism for the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League, which led to his sacking. However, according to Franco Ceravolo, Milan's sporting director at the time, Allegri took on too many responsibilities beyond his role as coach, managing complex situations without causing problems.

Ceravolo praised Allegri as a team player who demonstrated his worth as a coach and a businessman. He believes that Allegri's qualities are not common in today's football. Allegri's tenure at Milan was marked by highs and lows, with the team ultimately finishing outside the top four and playing in the Europa League.

The challenges Allegri faces at Napoli are not tactical but rather environmental. He needs to regain the trust of the Partenopei fans, who are skeptical about his style of play and recent past. Ceravolo's comments aim to put Allegri's Milan experience into perspective, highlighting the difficulties he faced.

Allegri's new adventure at Napoli is seen as a steep climb, but one that could be stimulating for the coach.
