Max Allegri was confirmed on Friday as Juventus coach after Andrea Pirlo was sacked. The coach has already made his first decision. According to 'Goal', he will ask the club to extend Alvaro Morata's loan spell from Atletico Madrid by another year.
It has been a busy day in Turin. Juventus are focussed on planning for the 2021-22 season and they will have a new coach for next term.
Allegri will begin his second spell at the club. He will replace Pirlo who was dismissed by the club on Friday.
Within hours of taking over, Allegri has already made his first request. 'Goal' says that he has specifically asked for Morata to stay.
There was some uncertainty at Atletico Madrid over what would happen to the striker, but now they can relax. 'Goal' says that Allegri counts on him for the 2021-22 season and wants him to stay out on loan.
Juventus will contact Atletico Madrid in the coming days to talk about extending his loan deal. The plan is to not take up the option to buy Morata, but they would like to keep him for another year. That means they would not have to pay the 35 million euros to keep him permanently, but they do have to give 10 million euros to extend the loan deal.
