Young Allegri was raised in the district of Coteto, in Livorno, where he grew up alongside his younger sister Michela.

Growing up in the district, Allegri was a sport-loving kid who juggled sporting interests between horse racing and football.

He was, however, more drawn to horse racing, a sport which he fell in love with after his grandfather took him to a racecourse when he was only aged 5.

Massimiliano Allegri Education and Career Buildup:

Allegri’s passion for horseracing registered a sharp decline after forced schooling and tough parenting set him on the path of building a career in football.

The teenager never liked schooling, and being forced by his parents to attend classes regularly added fuel to his hatred.

“Massi, you can’t skip school! You need to take these exams! You need to sit still and learn about Napoleon!”. Recalls Allegri of his parents’ attempt to overcome his hatred for schooling.

While Allegri put up with the forced schooling, he figured out that he wasn’t meant to be a good student but could fare well in other endeavours and might as well become an administrator of the school.

“I remember sitting in class one day, and the teacher was mad at me about something, and I had this realization. I remember saying to myself: ‘I am not meant to be a good student. But I could be a good principal'”. He thought.

In the same light, the competitive football games he played as a teenager for his hometown club Livorno, confirmed his aversion to followership and drive for leadership.

“Even when I was on the football pitch as a teenager, I wanted to be a teacher. I had a few passionate discussions with my own coaches, but it wasn’t for more playing time or anything like that. It was because, even then, I wanted to run the team my own way”.

He recalled to Players Tribune.

The coaching prodigy dropped out of school when he was aged 16 to focus on football.

He spent eight years playing for the first team of Italian clubs that include: Cuoio Pelli Juventus, Livorno, Pisa and Pavia before joining Pescara in 1991.

While at Pescara, Allegri established himself as a midfielder and developed a close relationship with his coach-turned-mentor, Giovanni Galeone.

It is worthwhile to note that Galeone was an impressive coach whose managerial prowess made “control-seeking” and stubborn Allegri humble for years.

“I spent seven years with him; Galeone was very imaginative and had innovative concepts,” admits Allegri.
