Allegri announced that he would take a year off after he left Juventus but also did not take on a new job last summer—despite having offers from several top clubs as Allegri's friend and former coach Giovanni Galeone, who has worked at Udinese, Delfino Pescara and Napoli has revealed to Radio Kiss Kiss. "Why has he not coached for a few years?" Galeone said (cited by Real Total). "The reason is simple: Because he had to turn down offers from some big clubs because of family reasons. Max has said no to Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Real Madrid."
Turning down Los Blancos was the hardest, according to Galeone. "He turned down Real because he had already turned down some other clubs," Galeone said. "I said to him: 'but how can you turn down such a big club?' Max's reason surprised me: 'I am not a clown. If I said no to a club, I can't just turn around and ten days later accept an offer from another club.' He is an honest man, a gentleman, and a professional."
Former Juventus coach: Allegri wants to take over a top club
Allegri is now ready to take on a new opportunity. "He wants to come back and take over a top club," Galeone said. Before taking on Juve, where he averaged 2.27 points per game over the course of 271 games, Allegri coached Milan, Cagliari, and US Sassuolo.
