Training at Juventus at the start of new Coach Massimiliano Allegri’s era takes place for the first time today.
The 46-year-old was quickly ushered in as the Bianconeri’s replacement for the departed Antonio Conte yesterday and then presented to the media.
On from spending last night at the team hotel where the players are currently based for this first run of pre-season training, the tactician arrived at Vinovo this morning with his new charges.
However, reports are that officially the morning training session was handled by the club’s physical trainer, as Allegri familiarised himself with the Turin club’s training complex and finalised details of his new coaching staff.
It is believed that Allegri will personally direct a first training session with the team this afternoon, whilst speculation continues to suggest he will not look to change too much in set-up, including keeping the 3-5-2 formation, even if also seeing a switch to a back-four defence as an option to also consider.
Allegri took to Twitter to comment on his return to work: “What a thrill to return to the field and direct training: I missed this!”
Sky Sport Italia indicate that Allegri’s intention is to move Juve’s pre-season training retreat to a hotel away from Turin.
Yesterday evening saw the new Juve Coach face protests from around 300 angry supporters and apparently briefly meet five ultras, alongside director general Beppe Marotta.
