Massimiliano Allegri, the former Juventus manager, made an appearance at the Farnesina for the inauguration of the “Shades of Blue” exhibition. While attempting to sidestep questions about his future, Allegri inadvertently provided some insight into his current situation.
When asked by Roma fans if he would consider joining their club, Allegri let slip, “The Americans haven’t called me.” This comment seemingly refers to Roma’s owners, the Friedkin Group, suggesting that there has been no formal approach from the capital club.
Regarding his links to West Ham United, Allegri chose a more playful approach. When questioned about his progress with the English language, he quipped, “How’s my English? Very good.” This lighthearted response comes amid speculation that the Italian tactician could be in line to replace Julen Lopetegui at the London Stadium.
Allegri’s jovial mood continued as he attempted to make his exit from the event. Dodging further questions about his potential move to West Ham, he humorously asked, “Where’s the exit? Where’s the exit?” before leaving with a laugh.
While Allegri’s comments don’t provide definitive answers about his future, they offer a glimpse into his current mindset. His improved English skills and the lack of contact from Roma’s ownership could indicate that a move to the Premier League might be more likely than a return to Serie A.
