Former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that Real Madrid made him an offer in 2018, which he decided to decline.
Allegri is one of the Old Lady’s most decorated coaches, winning five consecutive Serie A championships, four Italian Cups and two Italian Super Cups, as well as reaching two Champions League finals.
But despite his great success, Juventus fired Allegri in May 2019 and replaced him with former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.
Now Allegri has admitted that other clubs were interested in him, with the giants from the Spanish capital getting in touch, but his commitment to Juventus was too strong.
When Real Madrid called me three years ago, I had promised Juventus that I would stay. That’s the only one I turned down, ” Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.
Unfortunately for Allegri, his loyalty to Juventus was not rewarded as he was fired just one year after Real Madrid’s offer.
Earlier this month, Allegri’s friend and mentor Giovanni Galeone said the former Juve boss has turned down jobs at Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid once again since leaving the Serie A champions. , due to family problems.
Rumors continue to circulate that Allegri could make a sensational return to Allianz Stadium to replace Andrea Pirlo, who is under intense pressure as Juve have endured a poor season under his leadership.
When asked if he would return, Allegri gave his support to Pirlo and suggested that Juventus were in a stronger position than people think.
“It is impossible to say (about a return to Juve), besides, Andrea Pirlo is there now and in my opinion he is doing well,” said Allegri.
‘I don’t know what Juve is missing. They are in the final of the Coppa Italia, they won the Supercoppa, they fight for the first four. The Champions League is a kind of lottery, it can be converted into six pence ”.
