Bonucci: Left Juventus Due to Disagreement with Allegri, Rejected Offers from Manchester City and Paris

Bonucci watched the Inter Milan versus Torino match at the San Siro because his son is a supporter of Torino. In an interview with Sky Sports, he spoke about Juventus and other topics.

Bonucci said, “Thiago Motta performed excellently both on the pitch and in communication. They signed young players who need to integrate into the team’s mentality. Allegri is more like a supervisor. For example, Locatelli needs guidance like Motta’s to regain his form.”

“Sarri had difficulties adapting to Juventus’ overall operations; he came at an inappropriate time. Before the pandemic, we needed a coach who could give us two or three ideas and manage the team, which is exactly what Allegri did. Conte, on the other hand, instilled confidence because we understood everything on the field. He was very meticulous, aware that football was evolving, so he changed his 3-5-2. The Napoli players all followed him. He could touch your soul and always found the right approach.”

“I transferred to AC Milan because I had a disagreement with Allegri at the time. Both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were interested in me, but I didn’t want to leave Italy. At that time, Mirabelli, the director of AC Milan, and the head coach Montella made me feel valued. They were starting a new cycle, and I would be the captain and core. Then, within a year, things didn’t go as expected, and they told me I was no longer suitable to stay. So, I told them I wanted to return to Juventus.”
