Allegri Courted by Saudi Giants: Al-Ahli Sets Sights on Former Juventus Manager

Massimiliano Allegri, the former Juventus manager, is facing tempting offers from Saudi Arabia that could lead to his first coaching experience outside Italy. Al-Ahli, the Saudi powerhouse boasting stars like Franck Kessie and Riyad Mahrez, has expressed strong interest in securing Allegri’s services for the upcoming season starting in June.

Gianluca di Marzio reports how his isn’t the first time Allegri has been approached by Saudi clubs. Last month, he reportedly had discussions with Al-Shabab, currently under the guidance of Fatih Terim. However, the Al-Ahli proposition seems to be gaining more traction.

Allegri’s appeal extends beyond the Middle East. In recent weeks, the Belgian national team had also reached out to the Italian tactician, although those talks did not progress to a successful conclusion.

As Al-Ahli prepares its long-term strategy with Allegri in mind, the club is not standing still. In the interim, they are set to bring in Gabriele Cioffi to manage the team until the end of the current season.

This potential move to Saudi Arabia represents a significant crossroads in Allegri’s career. Known for his successful tenure in Serie A, particularly with Juventus, a switch to the rapidly growing Saudi Pro League would mark a new chapter for the decorated coach.
