Mario Mandzukic reveals he joined Juventus “above all because Max Allegri really wanted me”.
The Croatian joined the Bianconeri from Atletico Madrid last summer, and has scored 12 goals in all competitions so far this season.
“I came to Juventus above all because [Coach] Allegri really wanted me,” Mandzukic told Sky.
“That was one of the main reasons for my choice. At first we needed time to get to know each other. I was in a new team and I didn’t know Allegri well because I’d never worked with him before.

“That was one of the main reasons for my choice. At first we needed time to get to know each other. I was in a new team and I didn’t know Allegri well because I’d never worked with him before.
“After a little time we started to understand each other better and better, and now we understand each other perfectly.
“He’s a great guy, and that’s an important quality for me. I like to talk with him, and we joke a lot.
“He’s a great Coach too, he knows so much about football. We have a super relationship.”
