Massimiliano Allegri, the familiar face back in charge at AC Milan, has always been a distinctive coach. Unlike many of his peers who prefer spectacle and flash, Allegri consistently stood out for his pragmatism and his ability to maintain composure in crucial moments, particularly within Italy.
This approach meant that many technically gifted players who perhaps lacked strong character found it difficult to thrive under him. Conversely, other individuals who might not have been technically exceptional but responded well to decisive and supportive leadership often experienced the peak of their careers under his guidance. As he returns to the Rossoneri, we take a moment to remember one such player who achieved significant success with the Livorno-born coach.
That player is Rodney Strasser, famously known for scoring the decisive goal that secured Milan`s 18th Serie A title – the second-to-last league championship won by the club – a triumph masterminded by `Conte Max` himself.
