Juve pledge secures new Allegri deal

MASSIMILIANO Allegri is set to sign a new two-year deal with Juventus that will make him Serie A’s highest-paid coach, but only after the club agreed not to sell Paulo Dybala or Paul Pogba.

Widespread reports in Italy said Allegri, who has steered the Old Lady of Turin to successive league titles the past two seasons, was to put pen to paper yesterday.

It would see the 48-year-old Allegri, who led AC Milan to its last scudetto in 2011, increase his yearly salary from 3.5 million euros (US$4 million) to 5 million per season, becoming in the process the highest paid coach in Italy’s top flight.

Allegri was being linked with a move to Chelsea or Real Madrid but a website report by La Repubblica newspaper claimed that Juventus sealed the deal when it agreed to Allegri’s specific request on Argentina striker Dybala, who has hit a club-leading 16 goals, and French midfield star Pogba.
