Head coachAC Milan: Massimiliano AllegriDate of birth: 11 August 1967Nationality: ItalianPlaying career: UC Cuoiopelli, AS Livorno Calcio (twice), Pisa Calcio, AC Pavia, Pescara Calcio (twice), CagliariCalcio, AC Perugia, Calcio Padova, SSC Napoli, AC Pistoiese, Aglianese Calcio 1923Coaching career: Aglianese Calcio 1923, SPAL 1907, US Grosseto FC, US Sassuolo Calcio, Cagliari Calcio, ACMilan

• A creative attacking midfielder, Allegri started out in his native Tuscany with Cuoiopelli and then Livorno, his hometownclub. First appeared in Serie A for Pisa against Milan in 1988/89 but played only twice that season before headingback to Livorno.

• Returned to Serie A after helping Pescara win promotion in 1992. The following term he scored 12 goals underGiovanni Galeone, the coach Allegri still considers his mentor. After leaving Pescara in 1993, had spells at Cagliari,Perugia, Padova and Napoli before hanging up his boots back in Tuscany with fourth division Aglianese in 2003.

• Moved straight into coaching at Aglianese, prior to taking charge at SPAL and Grosseto. In November 2008 he wonthe Panchina d'Oro (golden bench) as the third division's best coach having led Sassuolo to promotion.

• Had earlier been appointed by Cagliari whom he led to ninth place in 2009, winning the Panchina d'Oro again, thistime as Serie A's best coach. Cagliari started the following season superbly but a bad run of results prompted Allegri'sdismissal on 13 April 2010 – although he had already done enough to earn a two-year contract at Milan.

• Allegri's first season at San Siro ended with his new club winning the Scudetto for the first time since 2004. In January2012 he extended his contract until June 2014. RSC Anderlecht: John van den BromDate of birth: 4 October 1966Nationality: DutchPlaying career: Vitesse (twice), AFC Ajax, Istanbulspor AS, De GraafschapCoaching career: AGOVV Apeldoorn, ADO Den Haag, Vitesse, RSC Anderlecht

• Signed his first professional contract with Vitesse in 1986, spending seven seasons with the Arnhem side and scoring80 goals. The midfielder, who won two Netherlands caps, earned a move to Ajax and was part of the squad that liftedthe 1995 UEFA Champions League, although he played no part in the final.

• Tried his luck in Turkey at İstanbulspor in 1995/96 but lasted one season before returning for five more years withVitesse, hanging up his boots in 2003 after a short spell at De Graafschap.

• Returned to Ajax as second-team coach, becoming head of youth development in 2005. Took the reins at second-tierAGOVV two years later and guided the club to the promotion play-offs in his final season.

• Earned a promotion of his own in 2010, being named Den Haag coach and took the club into Europe for the firsttime in 23 years. In June 2011 Vitesse convinced Van den Brom to make a heart-warming return and he rewardedtheir faith by leading the club into the UEFA Europa League via the end-of-season play-offs.

• Left for Anderlecht in May 2012, making an immediate impression by winning the Belgian Super Cup andmasterminding Anderlecht's return to the UEFA Champions League group stage after a five-year hiatus.
