16th match between the two Tuscan coaches who faced each other for the first time 15 years ago. Then several derbies, both in Milan and Turin, but never in a Juventus-Napoli match. The balance of precedents in favor of Juventus
SKYLIGHTS ROOM, DISCOVER WHAT’S NEW
It will be there sixteenth time facing each other. But it will also be a first. Never before have Massimiliano Allegri from Livorno and Walter Mazzarri from San Vincenzo (still in the province of Livorno, but 60 km further south) faced each other from the benches of Juventus and Napoli. So he returns to the Stadium on Friday evening a classic from Serie A but in a new version.
A challenge between two coaches who they don’t really consider themselves “friends friends”, but which are united by the same stretch of sea. Two who return to that piece of Tuscany when they can. Allegri grew up in the challenges of Gabion of Livorno, which the Juventus coach himself will help rebuild after the storms. The other party from Saint Vincentbefore playing in the Follonica and then in the Fiorentina youth team.

The first challenge
Both became very great as coaches compared to their careers as footballers. For the first face to face on the benches you have to go back to November 2008. Allegri leads the Cagliari for a few months, Mazzarri has been the coach of Sampdoria with Bellucci and Cassano in attack. Allegri will win, thanks to a goal by Pause.

I derby
Instead, there are 6 matches between Milan and Napoli, with two successes for the current Juventus coach and one for whoever is leading Napoli again today. But Allegri against Mazzarri also means a derby. Both from Milanwon by Mazzarri’s Inter in 2013 thanks to Palacio’s goal, both for the most recent matches between Toro and Juve. Three in all, with two victories for Allegri and a draw.
The last ones face to face
Finally, the last matches, when Mazzarri sat on the Cagliari bench, they are all in favor of the Juventus coach. Now it’s Juventus-Napoli for the first time. But always Allegri from Livorno against Mazzarri from San Vincenzo. 60 kilometers of Tuscany, overlooking the same sea.
