Marotta: ‘Allegri won’t join Arsenal’

Giuseppe Marotta says Medhi Benatia could stay at Juventus, and that Max Allegri won’t join Arsenal.

Allegri has touted as possible replacement if Arsene Wenger moves on in the summer, but the Bianconeri’s general manager says the Coach will stay.

“The Coach has another year and a half on his contract,” Marotta pointed out on TMW Radio.

“There’s a good relationship between us. He’s happy with us and we’re happy with him, it’s a marriage which can happily continue.

“Benatia? He’s doing very well, he could stay with us.”

Paulo Dybala refused to shake Allegri’s hand when substituted yesterday, but won’t be sanctioned by the club.

“It was a small and insignificant gesture, football is full of these things. We have to look at the whole context, he’s an important player and a great professional.

“We know his character, he wasn’t being disrespectful to the Coach, but a protest at the fact he couldn’t get a goal. These things are very normal in football.”
