"Milan's goalkeeping coach is renowned for a long career at the highest level having spent 15 years at Juventus, and now he has brought his expertise to Allegri again. Filippi uses tools of the trade such as a ball-shooting machine and a hard plastic shield (designed and marketed by the coach himself) which helps manually deflect crosses and shots, as happens in matches."
"Why is Maignan back to Scudetto-season levels? Firstly, he has changed coaches every season since 2020-21, which doesn't help things. In that magical 2021-22 season, he had Dida, Gigi Ragno and Emiliano Betti. In 2022-23, Dida left and Flavio Roma joined. In 2023-24, the Welshman Anthony Roberts - who once again worked with Gigi Ragno - took over. In 2024-25, Roberts left and Fonseca brought in Antonio Ferreira, while Conceiçao replaced him with Diamantino Figueiredo and Vedran Runje."
"Filippi, a 60-year-old Roman, arrived at Juventus in 2010 with Gigi Delneri and remained under Antonio Conte, Allegri, Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo. Buffon is obviously his signature goalkeeper, and over the years an excellent relationship has developed between the two. Thiago Motta, however, preferred to rely on his staff, and Filippi worked with the youth teams last season. Tudor didn't change the trend. It couldn't last."
Claudio Filippi, Milan's goalkeeping coach, has a long career at the highest level, including 15 years at Juventus under managers such as Delneri, Conte, Allegri, Sarri and Pirlo. Filippi employs specialized tools like a ball-shooting machine and a hard plastic shield he designed to simulate crosses and shots. Mike Maignan experienced yearly changes of goalkeeping coaches from 2020–21 onward, disrupting continuity across a string of coaches. Filippi's arrival coincided with Maignan regaining Scudetto-season form, improved mentality and charisma, and a series of decisive saves in key matches.
