Last May, the big clubs Juventus Turin and Real Madrid were both looking for a new manager after the departures, for various reasons, of the two former maestros Andrea Pirlo and Zinedine Zidane. The two clubs have a constant obligation of result which leaves them a very narrow margin of error in the selection of their new coach. A name comes up on both sides, that of Massimiliano Allegri.
The current coach of Juventus Turin was free of any contract since his departure two years earlier from .. Juventus Turin. Indeed, the transalpine technician has decided to stay in the country and find a club that he led twice to the Champions League final during his first stint between 2014 and 2019. His agent, Giovanni Branchini told Sky Sports Italia : “Allegri was one step away from being named Real Madrid’s new manager in May. Everything was done. The deal was done. He just had to sign the contract. Then he chose to join Juve ”. Real Madrid will finally opt for a former member of the house, another Italian, in the person of Carlo Ancelotti.
