Massimiliano Allegri is adamant his coaching days in Italy will be finished when he eventually leaves Juventus, as he yearns for an adventure abroad.
Allegri has established himself as one of Italy s most talented coaches in recent years, initially getting his big break in 2010 when he joined AC Milan, whom he guided to a Serie A title in his first season.
Although his tenure was ended prematurely in January 2014, he subsequently joined Juve and has enjoyed great success in Turin, winning Serie A and the Coppa Italia three years in a row.
Allegri s Juve have also reached two Champions League finals and are among the last eight this term, where they will face Real Madrid, their conquerors in last season s final.

Former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison has confirmed he is travelling to Jamaica with a view to changing his allegiance at international level.
The BBC reported this week that the 25-year-old, who plays for Mexican side Atlas on loan from Lazio, was considering declaring himself available for the Caribbean nation.

FIFA has reduced the ban from football issued to former official Harold Mayne-Nicholls following an appeal.
The organisation s Adjudicatory Chamber chose to suspend Mayne-Nicholls from all footballing activities for seven years in January, and fined him 20,000CHF.
Former head of Chile s football association Mayne-Nicholls had been found guilty of misconduct, conflict of interest and accepting gifts after an investigation into his work as head of the Bid Evalutation Group for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, but FIFA s Appeal Committee has since accepted that the seven-year ban was too severe.
While agreeing with the principles and arguments presented by the adjudicatory chamber, the Appeal Committee deemed that the sanction imposed was not proportionate to the brea…
According to a recent report from Sky Italy, AC Milan have put forward an offer to try and sign LA Galaxy forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede has been heavily linked with a move back to Milan as he prepares for the expiration of his contract with Galaxy next month. The club want to bring Zlatan in for him to train with the team in December, ensuring that he’ll be fit and ready to go by the time that the January transfer window officially rolls around.
Milan officials are set to meet with Ibrahimovic’s agent next week, although at this moment in time, Zlatan’s demands are believed to be too high for AC to even consider proceeding with the negotiations.
Napoli and Bologna have both also made it clear that they want to put some kind of offer forward, but no …
Paris Saint-Germain will go backwards if Kylian Mbappe leaves for free, according to former midfielder Jerome Rothen.
Mbappe s contract is due to expire at the end of the season and he has been heavily linked with a free transfer to Real Madrid, whose president Florentino Perez this month said he would have news about the 22-year-old in January.
The World Cup-winning attacker has scored 138 goals and supplied 62 assists in 184 appearances since joining PSG in 2017, developing into one of the most exciting talents in world football.
He scored the opening goal in the 3-2 Champions League win over RB Leipzig on Tuesday but blazed a penalty over in second-half stoppage time following a Lionel Messi double.
Still, Rothen believes it is Mbappe, not Messi …
