Juventus is Italy’s strongest club not only today, but throughout history. He 32 times became the champion of the country, 11 times won the Italian Cup - in one and in the other competition Turinians are record holders in the number of victories. Juventus also won the Champions League twice and three times the UEFA Cup. Many of these successes were achieved by Juventus coaches. The Italian club has always recruited only the most powerful professionals. Not always they succeeded, not all Juventus coaches lived up to expectations, but each of them managed to achieve something with the club.
Chronology of all trainers
Coaches of Juventus over the long history of the club have been replaced more than once. From 1923 to 1926, at the helm of the club was the Hungarian Jene Karoy, who was then replaced by another Hungarian Josef Viola. From 1928 to 1930, the club was led by the Scot George Aitken, and only in 1930, for the first time, the Italian club was headed by the Italian - Carlo Carcano. In 1935 he was succeeded by Virginio Rosetta, followed by Umberto Caligaris, who was succeeded by Giovanni Ferrari. In 1942, during the war, the club was led by Felice Borel, who was then replaced by Renato Cesarini. In 1948, the Scot again took the helm - this time William Chalmers, and the Englishman Jess Carver followed him.
In 1951, another Hungarian turned out to be a coach - Gyorgy Sharoshi. Several Italian coaches followed, and in 1957, for the first time, Yugoslav Brochich took over the leadership. The next non-Italian coach was Paulo Amaral, who remained at the helm of the team from 1962 to 1964. It is also worth noting that he was succeeded by Heriberto Herrera, the first Paraguayan at the head of Juventus. And then Louis Karniglia followed. As you can see, Juventus trainers were the most diverse. Chestimir Vytspalek was a Czech, and when he left the post in 1974, only Italians managed the club for more than 30 years. The system was broken by the Frenchman Didier Deschamps in 2006, but he lasted only one year, and since then only Italians headed the club.
Success
If we talk about the success of Juventus coaches, the most trophies for the club were won by Giovanni Trapattoni, who led the club from 1976 to 1986, as well as from 1991 to 1994.
He won the Italian championship six times, twice brought the Italian Cup to the club, and it was with him that Juventus won one Champions League and two UEFA Cups.
The second most successful is Marcello Lippi, who brought the team five championship titles and one Italian Cup. It was under him that Juventus won the second Champions League.
Current coach
To date, Juventus head coach is Massimiliano Allegri, who took office in 2014 and has already become the club’s third most successful coach.
In two years, he won two league titles and two cups for his team - and who knows what success awaits him ahead. Perhaps he will be able to become the most successful coach in the history of Juventus.
