Who is Marco Landucci the deputy of Allegri-Corriere.it

The flu knocked out Massimiliano Allegri, who was largely absent tonight on Saturday 8 April at the Olimpico stadium in Rome. In fact, he will not sit on the bench in his Juventus’ match against Lazio.

There will be his trusted deputy, Marco LanducciAllegri’s collaborator since the beginning of his coaching career, in Serie C, at Grosseto in 2005 (he had previously led Aglianese in 2003-04 and Spal in 2004-05). At the time Landucci was a goalkeeper coach, as then also in Serie A in Cagliari and Milan.

But when did the former Fiorentina goalkeeper become your deputy? At Juventus in 2014. In fact, among the collaborators inherited from Antonio Conte, within the Juventus structure, the goalkeeper coach was already there: the relationship of trust between Claudio Filippi and the goalkeepers, among them Buffon, was pretty solid. And for this reason it was then decided to keep the balance intact and find another role for Landucci. And here he is promoted to deputy.

He has already replaced Allegri on two occasions this season: both against Monza. The first on the Brianza field in the first leg of the championship (September 18) and then in the first match of the Italian Cup (January 19). A narrow defeat (with the match conditioned by Di Maria’s expulsion) in the championship match and a 2-1 success in the Coppa Italia at the Stadium. Last season went better with two wins out of two: first in Rome (4-3) with a great comeback (from 3-1 down) in the league and then in the Italian Cup (4-1) against Sampdoria. Now I will replace him at the Olimpico in this important match for the Champions League. Allegri – not being disqualified – will communicate on the phone through a third collaborator (Simone Padoin). Who knows if Landucci will bring luck again, with the fourth victory in five races.
