The Italian coach, back last summer in Turin, dropped a real bomb on this decision.
Having coached Juventus Turin for the first time between 2014 and 2019 – with 4 Scudetti consecutive won – Massimiliano Allegri had to give way to Maurizio Sarri…before returning to the Bianconeri barely two years later as a replacement forAndrea Pirlo. And the circumstances around this arrival are, how to say, rather unsuspected.
In an interview with the magazine GQ, the Italian coach has revealed that he should actually join…Real Madrid. “I had already signed as the new Real Madrid manager last summer. It was done and sealed.”
“Then Juventus contacted me… so I called Florentino Perez in the morning and I said to him: I’m sorry, I’m not coming. I’m going to Juventus.”
“He thanked me. As soon as Juventus called me in May, I had no doubts.”
A great proof of attachment to The old lady…but not sure that this revelation pleases the fans Bianconericriticizing in number and week following week the game developed by their team since the return to the fold of the 54-year-old coach.
