Leonardo Bonucci was spotted on the San Siro’s stands for Inter-Torino, as his son is a Granata supporter, and paid a visit to Sky to take stock of Juventus and more (via OneFootball).
“Thiago Motta is doing an incredible job both on the pitch and communication-wise. They have signed young players that need to acquire their mentality. Massimiliano Allegri was more over an overseer. For instance, Manuel Locatelli needed somebody like the new coach to return to his levels.”
Bonucci talked candidly about his previous managers.
“Maurizio Sarri struggled to enter the dynamics of the Bianconeri. He arrived at the wrong moment. Before COVID, we needed a coach that gave us two or three ideas and managed the group. That’s what Allegri did. Instead, Antonio Conte transmitted certainties because we went on the pitch knowing everything by heart. He’s thorough and knows that football has evolved, so he changed his 3-5-2. The Napoli players are following him. He touches your soul and always finds the right key.”
Bonucci confirmed that his brief stint at Milan was caused by a clash with the Tuscan gaffer.
“I transferred because I had a falling out with Allegri. Manchester City and PSG wanted me, but I wasn’t keen on going abroad. Director Massimiliano Mirabelli and Vincenzo Montella made me feel important. They were starting a new cycle, and I would have been the captain and a reference point. Then, everything went sideways in a year, and they told me there were no longer room for there. So, I relayed that I wished to go back to Juventus.”
