Where Next for Massimiliano Allegri? Will It Be a Lucrative Saudi Pro League Move, or Will He Hold Out for the Premier League?
Massimiliano is a high-profile manager with extensive experience and success at the highest level. As the summer transfer window heats up, his profile has caught the eyes of the Saudi Pro League.
Allegri recently parted ways with Juventus after eight years with the Old Lady over two periods from 2014-2019 and 2021-2024. The two spells resulted in significant success, with Juventus lifting five Serie A titles, five Italian Cups, and two Italian Super Cups.
Allegri will have his choice of suitors as he weighs his next move after Juventus. The Saudi Pro League will be an interesting prospect for the manager as the league steps up its efforts to improve and consolidate the gains so far.
However, the Saudi Pro League will face significant competition from other options, especially the Premier League. Allegri has reportedly focused on securing a managerial role in the Premier League. The English league’s allure, with its competitive nature and global recognition, aligns with Allegri’s aspirations.
However, no concrete offers from English clubs for Allegri’s services have been made. Although the Italian might be lukewarm on the prospect of moving to the Saudi Pro League, interest in him demonstrates the continued ambition for the best talent available in world football.
There is an indication that more might be done to convince Massimiliano Allegri to change his mind and take his talents to the Middle East. The longer it goes without a concrete offer from his preferred Premier League, the more inclined the Italian might be to agree to terms with a Saudi Pro League club, which would be a major coup for the Middle Eastern nation.
