Massimiliano Allegri might have treated us to a bizarre striptease as Juventus lifted the Coppa Italia trophy last season, but his antiquated tactics were shown the door and in came Thiago Motta, the young and upcoming coach who revived Bologna with his stylish vision of the game.

Juventus collected two consecutive league victories, winning 3-0 in both, defeated PSV and RB Leipzig in the Champions League, and most importantly they had an identifiable style of play - something that hadn't been witnessed under Allegri.

At this stage of the season last year, Allegri's Juventus were second in the table with nine points more.

When the Serbian striker failed to replicate his form for Fiorentina at Juventus, it was difficult not to blame Allegri's defensive tactics for his apparent regression.

Allegri is said to have privately believed Kean to be better than Vlahovic.
