Massimiliano Allegri may be breaking records in Italy but the Juventus coach's quest for the elusive Champions League grail continues on Tuesday against English side Tottenham Hotspur.

The 50-year-old marked his 200th game in the Juventus dugout with a 2-0 win in Florence on Friday.

A surprise replacement for Antonio Conte in July 2014, the former AC Milan boss has won seven consecutive trophies with the Turin giants including the last three Serie A titles.

Italy's national side are in disarray after the four-time winners' humiliating World Cup exit, but Juventus are in fine form under Allegri.
