The Juventus head coach almost joined the Spanish giants in the summer after he signed his deal as a new Real Madrid manager.
After an agreement between the two parties, Juventus parted ways with club legend Pirlo and they had to call for the return of Allegri.
Massimiliano had to call Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in the morning and apologize for his u-turn. He has to favor a move back to Juventus instead of Real Madrid.
What could have happened if Allegri became Real Madrid manager?
After a deal failed to go through, Real Madrid appointed Carlo Ancelotti and he has done well, I think that Allegri will do a great job also.
So far, Carlo Ancelotti is leading the race to win the La Liga trophy and he is currently in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals.
Allegri regrets his decision of turning Real Madrid down?
I don’t think that he regrets his decision of returning back to Juventus despite that the team is performing poorly.
When he returned back to management at the club, Cristiano Ronaldo left and he had to start rebuilding.
What did Allegri say about his move to Real Madrid?
“I had already signed as a 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 told him, I’m sorry, I’m not coming, I’m joining Juventus.
