Juventus great Marco Tardelli feels coach Max Allegri needs a high-profile sporting director to support him.
Tardelli says Allegri did his best work in partnership with Beppe Marotta, now with Inter Milan.
He told TMW: I think Allegri should have had a close companion", in the sense of a type like Marotta, a manager who accompanied him.
Instead, he found himself alone to handle a rather difficult situation. And coincidentally, with the fiery transfer market.
Napoli's sports director (Cristiano) Giuntoli would be the best idea to implement. He could be the right man. Because sometimes for the coach you need to have a healthy conversation with someone close to you".
