DBasia.news – Massimiliano Allegri has one special request in his second spell in charge of Juventus. The tactician asked the Bianconeri to extend Giorgio Chiellini’s contract.
Juventus became the winning team in the hunt for Massimiliano Allegri’s signature. Apart from the Bianconeri, the Italian coach has also been linked with Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
Allegri is believed to be able to restore Juventus to glory in Serie A. In addition, what is equally important is to bring Juve to glory in the Champions League.
Realizing that the task given is tough, Allegri wants to make a team that is as strong as possible. The first step he took was asking Juventus management to extend the captain’s contract, Giorgio Chiellini. The 36-year-old player’s tenure ends this summer.
In this season, Chiellini’s appearance was not optimal. The former Fiorentina player is injured and has spent most of the season in the treatment room.
However, the experience and ability to lead are still Chiellini’s plus points in the eyes of Allegri. The coach is aware, Chiellini will be very useful in the dressing room.
In fact, previously Chiellini was linked with continuing his career towards the United States. The defender is reported to have spoken with Juventus president, Andrea Agnelli, to express his desire to leave and head to MLS. Reportedly, Chiellini became the target of the LA Galaxy.
Chiellini’s achievements at Juventus
Giorgio Chiellini is one of the longest-running players at Juventus at this time. He has been with La Vecchia Signora since 2005.
Chiellini was also an important part of Juventus’ glory at the domestic level. He won nine Serie A titles, five Coppa Italia and five Italian Super Cups. With this performance, Chiellini became a regular in the Italian national team.
