Massimiliano Allegri stands at approximately 6 feet (183 cm) tall and maintains a fit physique that reflects his commitment to a healthy lifestyle. His weight is estimated to be around 75 kg (165 lbs), and he is often noted for his sharp appearance on and off the field. Although specific body measurements are not publicly available, Allegri's dedication to fitness is evident.
During the 2016–17 season, Allegri drew further praise in the media for his decision to occasionally depart from the team's trademark 3–5–2 formation and instead adopt a new 4–2–3–1 formation, in particular for European matches, a system which better suited the characteristics of the club's new signings—the tactical switch most notabl
y saw Gonzalo Higuaín fielded as the team's main striker while Dybala was used in a more creative role as number 10, backed by two central box-to-box midfielders (usually the more defensive-minded Sami Khedira alongside either Miralem Pjanić or Claudio Marchisio in a deeper playmaking role) and flanked by Juan Cuadrado on the right wing.
The switch to a four-man back-line also allowed Allegri to rotate several players, such as centre-backs Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci as well as right-backs Dani Alves and Stephan Lichtsteiner, while centre-forward Mario Mandžukić was deployed in a deeper, wider role as a winger or attacking midfielder on the left flank�
��this new position utilised the Croatian's work-rate, intelligence, hold-up play and ability to cover for teammates making overlapping runs, in particular those of left-back Alex Sandro while Mandžukić's height and ability in the air also enabled him to function essentially as a "target man" in wider areas.

After a successful stint with Milan, he took over at Juventus in 2014, leading the club to several domestic titles and a UEFA Champions League Final appearance.

On 15 May 2024, Allegri was sent off in Juventus's 1–0 victory over Atalanta in the 2024 Coppa Italia final; with the victory, he became the first manager to win the title five times.
Following the game, he was also reported to have angrily attacked the referees, threatened a journalist and waved off sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli during the post-match celebrations. He was sacked just two days later on 17 May, reportedly in large part due to the incident.
Education
Allegri's educational background primarily revolves around sports. While specific details about his formal education are limited, he has taken various coaching courses and certifications to sharpen his managerial skills. His development in football tactics and management principles has significantly contributed to his success as a coach.
He completed the 2008–09 season in an impressive ninth place, their best result in Serie A in almost fifteen years, which was hailed as a huge result in light of the limited resources, the lack of top-class players, and the high quality of Cagliari's attacking football style, which led the Sardinians not far from UEFA Europa League qualification.
Such results led him to be awarded the Panchina d'Oro (Golden bench), a prize awarded to the best Serie A football manager according to other managers' votes, ahead of Serie A winning coach José Mourinho.
In the 2009–10 season, he managed to confirm Cagliari's high footballing levels despite the loss of regular striker Robert Acquafresca, leading an impressive number of three players from his side—namely Davide Biondini, Federico Marchetti, and Andrea Cossu—to receive Italy national team call-ups during his reign at the club.
