Former Italian coach Giovanni Galeone has backed Liverpool and Manchester United to sign Max Allegri as manager. Allegri, currently in charge of Juventus, has won six Serie A titles and has been backed to succeed in the Premier League as well.
Galeone told Gazzetta dello Sport (via Caught Offside):
“Until some time ago I would’ve told him (Allegri) to stay. Now, however, I’d tell him that the time has come to seek success abroad, as both Capello and Ancelotti did after so many successes in Italy.”
He continued:
“Allegri coached and won with Milan and Juventus. He is in his eighth season with Juventus, and only (Giovanni) Trapattoni has more games than him. I don’t see Max in Saudi Arabia, but he would be perfect for the Premier League."
Galeone concluded:
“Next summer will be a summer of great changes throughout Europe. I think Max would do very well at Liverpool post-Klopp or at Manchester United.”
Allegri-coached Juventus are currently third in the Serie A table. They have 59 points after 29 games, and are 17 points behind league leaders Inter Milan.
