La Gazzetta dello Sport claim Max Allegri has been offered a €60 million contract to coach a Saudi Arabian side next season. The newspaper reported yesterday that the Juve coach has reportedly been offered the chance to coach an unnamed club, and is set to meet with intermediaries in Monte Carlo in the coming days.
Gazzetta report this morning that the Arab club is ‘serious’ about hiring Allegri, and a recent meeting in Monaco confirms this.
After days of contacts through emissaries, a three-year contract has been proposed, with talk of a salary between double and triple the €9 million he currently gets at Juve, a rumoured €60 million for three seasons.
The Saudi delegation is on a mission to Monte Carlo to try to convince Max to take over the Arab project, but they have not has the ‘yes’ that they hoped-for yet. But neither was it a total shutdown – Allegri, according to the reports coming from Riyadh, merely took note of the proposal. So much so that the Arabs expect a positive or negative response in the coming days.
Allegri’s future will be figured out in the coming days. The impression of people close to the Livorno native is that he is not convinced of taking such a step, at least for now. Partly because of family issues, and partly because , despite the tensions of recent weeks with the Bianconeri executives, which Scanavino called “tough but constructive confrontations,” the desire to start over with Juventus seems to prevail in Max.
