Allegri reportedly rejected offers to coach Chelsea, Man Utd before returning to Juve

A report has emerged that Juventus current coach, Max Allegri rejected offers to coach English sides, Chelsea and Man Utd before returning to Turin a few weeks back.

According to Allegri’s mentor, Giovanni Galone, he revealed the Old Ladies manager turned down Chelsea twice in the space of fifteen days. He added that he also rejected offers to managed Man Utd.

Allegri however returned to Juve where he was sacked by the Italian giants back in May 2019.

“Last year when he was at Juventus, Allegri said no to five big offers. Chelsea tried twice in the space of fifteen days and he always rejected every proposal,” Galeone told Il Bianconero.

Galeone stressed that Allegri would have moved to Real Madrid if there was no offer from the Old Ladies.

“Then Real Madrid contacted him more than once, while Arsenal, PSG and Manchester United also tried. This was all in the space of a year, but he always said no.

“I do think that if Juve hadn’t called, he would be in Madrid now, even though he was not entirely convinced by the organisation there. Nobody is, really,” Galeone added.

While Allegri didn’t agree to a move to Chelsea, the Blues now have Thomas Tuchel who led them to victory in the UCL recently.
