Massimiliano Allegri Becomes the Reason for Medhi Benatia’s Departure from Juventus

DBasia.news –  Medhi Benatia, a Moroccan passport center back, is still discussing his departure from Juventus. Expressing the real reason, Benatia left because of Massimiliano Allegri.

Medhi Benatia defended Juventus since mid 2017. Previously, the player defended Bayern Munich. It was not the first time Benatia had a career in Serie A. Benatia had defended Udinese and AS Roma.

Benatia’s struggle to penetrate the Juventus main squad was very heavy. Moreover, La Vecchia Signora has a lot of tough defenders who are experienced. The return of Leonardo Bonucci from AC Milan also thinned out the opportunity for Benatia to appear as starter.

Aware of his pinched position, Medhi Benatia tried to ask about his position in Massimilano Allegri. The coach ensures Benatia will accompany Giorgio Chiellini in the defender sector. However, that is only a figment.

“When I heard the news of Leonardo Bonucci’s return, I immediately met Allegri to talk. He said, Chiellini and I were starters and Bonucci had to take his place back,” Benatia said as Calciomercato reported.

“Even so, I can’t play until I get angry. I tell the management that I want to play or will leave,” Benatia said.

Indeed, Benatia has been asked to stay. However, the player’s decision was unanimous. “A teammate tried to change my mind, but it was too late,” said Benatia.

In the end, Medhi Benatia decided to leave from Juventus and join Al Duhail. The 32-year-old made Juventus receive a transfer fund of 8 million euros.
