"When Massimiliano Allegri arrived at AC Milan in the summer, he requested his own coaching staff, and one choice has helped massively. New coaches picking their own staff is nothing new, nor is the decision to continue with established options who have supported you for a long time. So, there were no real shocks when Allegri included Filippi in his coaching staff."
"Filippi is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeeper coaches in Italy, if not further, and after a drop in form, Mike Maignan needed some help. So, the Italian has dedicated himself to bringing the Frenchman back to his top level. Before the game against Lecce, it was not a case of telling him specifics, but rather reminding him of his own quality, showing his belief in the goalkeeper."
"It had already been reported that his impact had been influential in Maignan's new openness to extending his stay with the Rossoneri. However, it may be more than that. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews24) writes, the relationship between the pair is 'top notch', and the duo are working together to push the goalkeeper to new heights."
Massimiliano Allegri joined AC Milan and appointed his own coaching staff, including goalkeeper coach Filippi. Filippi is widely regarded among the best goalkeeper coaches in Italy and dedicated himself to restoring Mike Maignan after a dip in form. Filippi focused on reminding Maignan of his quality and showing belief rather than offering only technical instructions. The coach-captain relationship is described as top notch, with Filippi acting as a mentor who stimulates Maignan mentally and on the training pitch. Filippi's influence contributed to Maignan's improved form and played a role in Maignan's willingness to consider extending his stay at the club.
