Massimiliano Allegri officially returned today to the Juventus' training ground as he bids to restore the Turin-based side to champions of Italy.
Juventus' nine-year domination of Serie A was brought to a sobering halt last season under rookie boss Andrea Pirlo and they were blown away by eventual champions Inter Milan.
Allegri, who returns to replace rookie coach Andrea Pirlo, now has the tricky task of galvanising a team confused by the tactical intricacies of Maurizio Sarri and the poor communication skills of Pirlo.
After returning to the training ground on Wednesday, Sportsmail picks out seven areas that Allegri must fix and improve to get Juventus back on top.

The returning boss has a number of issues he must sort to make Juventus champions again
Paulo Dybala is among the most interesting players to Allegri because of his technical ability.
Had Pirlo been kept on by chairman Andrea Agnelli then Dybala, who is in the final 12 months of his contract, would likely have been moved on.
But with Allegri's return meaning it is him calling the shots, Dybala's future now appears to still be in Turin.
Talks are ongoing for a renewal of his contract are that could be finalised prior to the 2021-22 season, taking him through until 2026.
The case around Dybala is the first of many problems that Allegri will have to manage given the limited time available to him prior to the upcoming season.
Allegri seemingly wants to place Dybala as the focal point of the team's tactical plan and that should be enough to convince him to remain.

The Poland international was the worst goalkeeper of this European Championships and was memorably the cause of a sensational own goal against Slovakia.
But above all else, Szczesny has never managed to convey that air of calmness to his team-mates at Juventus, both in Serie A and in the Champions League where he was guilty of numerous mistakes.
Juventus have a player now who, when he arrived, was seen as a top player. His issue is that now he will have to work extremely hard to be considered irreplaceable by Allegri.
Italy's hero at the Euros Gianluigi Donnarumma has chosen to go to France to join Paris Saint-Germain but talk of him heading to Turin will unquestionably have destabilised Szczesny.
With that possibility now over, Allegri will have to coax much better form out of the Poland goalkeeper if they are to have any chance of getting back on top.
Juventus icon Gianluigi Buffon's exit and the absence of a mentor to help him deal with the next season could hinder his much-needed rebirth under the returning Allegri.
Time is running out and Juventus desperately need the old Szczesny back.

Juventus problems in midfield arguably reared their ugly head when they decided to send Miralem Pjanic to Barcelona in swap deal for Arthur Melo.
Since that moment the club has lost a fundamental point of reference in midfield, failing to fill the void left by Pjanic with a number of questionable choices signed post-haste.
Arthur does not seem suited to play the role of playmaker and above all he does not appear physically 100 per cent intact.
Rodrigo Bentancur was guilty of a number of mistakes when he played in front of the defense last season and has seen his stock take a sharp decline.
Allegri's first step will be to decide who to entrust the
