PARIS - Massimiliano Allegri is yet to decide where he will make his coaching comeback as he plots a return to the game next season, the Italian revealed in an interview with AFP on Thursday , amid rumours of serious interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
"In September I need to come back. If I don't I'll get too used to being on holiday and I'll never work again!" Allegri joked during the interview near PSG's Parc des Princes stadium.However, he denied having been contacted by PSG sporting director Leonardo about replacing current coach Thomas Tuchel, and he refused to be drawn over where he might end up, insisting that he doesn't know what he will do next.
Allegri revealed he was learning English but said that it was simply for"personal reasons" and in order to communicate better when away from Italy. He is unusual among Italian managers in that he eschews Italy's traditional strong focus on systems and tactics and emphasises the importance of allowing top players to express themselves."The first thing you need in order to win is great players ... Great players pass the ball, they touch the ball two or three times and that's it. They make easy things that other players find difficult.
"Football is a question of mentality. You need to be strong mentally and make sacrifices. Ronaldo is an example of that," he said.
