A year off to recharge before the next chapter, this is Massimiliano Allegri's plan. After winning five Serie A titles at Juventus, the Tuscan manager is recharging his batteries as he recently confirmed in an interview with ESPN:"After my experience at Juventus, Giovanni Branchini and I decided to take a year off. I played for eighteen years, coached for sixteen more, I took a year off after working thirty four. I'm happy, I had some time to ponder things, talk to people, look after myself. I went to the theatre, some art exhibits and read some books"
"English? I'm working on it. I would like to speak it well, sometimes I have a hard time understanding conversations. If I read a book or watch a movie in English I don't have any problems. Next season will be very important, I'm working to prepare myself, a year off after five at Juventus. I don't want to return and not live up to expectations"
