Maximiliano Allegri is currently one the best managers of Italian extraction and it is believed that the finest football managers in the world do come from Italy.
Saudi Arabia's quest to make their league one of the best in the world is not a joke and they're currently doing anything do make that dream come through. After getting the services of European known best players, they're also trying to sign managers that'll bring the tactical experience of European football to their league and thereby improving their quality of football. It's still unofficial if Allegri will join the Saudi League but some officials are trying to make it happen.
The rumor has been confirmed to be true, this afternoon.
We also got more clues, and they are saying his final decision will be in 24-48 hours, so we will know very soon how it will end.
Saudi Arabia are trying to attract as much known players and coaches as possible. It is curious the amount of money they are ready to spend to achieve that dream. I assume those coming to that league have to give them a hand in developing football but also promoting their candidature in hosting World Cup.
