“During his career Allegri has always been able to build teams with the ability to combine results with good football,” read the statement.
“The achievements he reached were through focusing on a cohesive group, both on and off the field.
“Like the great Enzo Bearzot, Massimiliano Allegri always placed himself a step behind his players, giving them responsibility, but also guiding them with tactical wisdom and balance, remaining firm and calm.
“This working method seems to have become the hallmark of one of Italy’s best Coaches.”
The trophy will be handed over on May 25.
This award was founded in 2011 in honour of 1982 World Cup winning Coach Bearzot.
Previous winners are Cesare Prandelli, Walter Mazzarri and Vincenzo Montella.
