Allegri Not Rushing Return amid West Ham and Roma Buzz

Massimiliano Allegri has resurfaced in the last couple of weeks and has been spotted on the stands of a few matches and in England. The former Juventus coach is preparing for his comeback, but it’s not necessarily imminent. He won’t take over a team at all costs this campaign, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

The gaffer was recently linked to West Ham, as Julen Lopetegui is on the hot seat. The Spanish manager has bought some time with the latest result. In any case, the ex-Bianconeri manager has rebuffed every approach so far. He’ll be back when he finds a project that fully convinces him, preferably during the offseason to shape the squad the way he prefers.

Allegri won’t take over a team that’s in disarray or has turmoil behind the scenes. Roma and Saudi Arabia have been mentioned as future possibilities. Claudio Ranieri suggested him to the brass for 2025/2026. He attended an Azzurri-related event on Tuesday and was quizzed on the links (via Goal).

The six-time Scudetto winner would like to be fully in control at his next stop rather than inherit somebody else’s work. He wishes to have the chance to do away with the label of being a defensive-minded manager. He’s willing but not eager to get back on the horse.

Our Take on Allegri

It’d be a little surprising if he left Serie A, but stranger things have happened. Instead, it’d be a stunner if he was back midseason and not next summer. There’ll probably be a pair of enticing landing spots in Italy.
