Massimo Allegri wants Juventus to follow in the footsteps of Fabio Capello’s Milan with a record start.

Allegri’s men have won all of their opening 10 competitive fixtures and now sit just three short of equalling the record set by Fabio Capello’s Milan way back in 1992, when the Rossoneri won their first 13 encounters.

“As a young man I liked winning Coaches, like Capello”, Allegri told Corriere dello Sport. “We want to become the number one.”

Massimo Allegri wants Juventus to follow in the footsteps of Fabio Capello’s Milan with a record start.

Allegri’s men have won all of their opening 10 competitive fixtures and now sit just three short of equalling the record set by Fabio Capello’s Milan way back in 1992, when the Rossoneri won their first 13 encounters.

“As a young man I liked winning Coaches, like Capello”, Allegri told Corriere dello Sport. “We want to become the number one.”

The Bianconeri’s next three Serie A fixtures are favourable. They host Genoa next weekend before a trip to Tuscany to face Empoli the following Saturday. November’s league programme starts with a home game against Cagliari.

The key fixture in their quest for the record looks to be matchday three in the Champions League, when Juventus travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

Allegri was a Pescara player when Milan set the record 26 years ago. “I was on the pitch when Capello’s team came back from 4-2 down to win 5-4 and it was their fifth consecutive win. Afterwards he declared that his side would not lose again that season.

“I prefer to focus on one game at a time.”
