"I didn’t have an inflatable raft": Allegri jokes off Premier League rumors

After leaving Juventus at the end of the 2023/24 season, Massimiliano Allegri has yet to return to coaching, opting instead for a creative sabbatical. Speculation recently suggested that the Italian manager was being considered for the Manchester United job, but Allegri himself has humorously explained why the move never materialized.

Details: This isn’t the first time Allegri has been linked with an English club. He dismissed the rumors with a lighthearted quip, joking that the Channel and the sea stood in his way, and he lacked an inflatable raft to make it to England.

Quote: “There was the English Channel and the sea between us. I didn’t have an inflatable raft to get to that place,” Allegri told Football Italia.

Reminder: Earlier reports suggested that Allegri prefers a role with the Italian national team over taking up a position in the Premier League.
