Former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was in attendance for Roma’s 2-2 draw away against Tottenham in the Europa League on Thursday night, and was temporarily reunited with former Bianconeri midfielder Paul Pogba, albeit over video call.
Roma fell behind twice against Ange Postcoglou’s Spurs in North London, but two different centre-backs in Evan Ndicka and Mats Hummels found the equalisers.
Among the attendees was Allegri, who also fuelled rumours of a move to the Premier League with his presence.

The former Juventus colleagues had worked together in two separate spells in Turin. The Frenchman has recently left the Bianconeri for the second time after reaching a mutual agreement to terminate his contract.
