Last summer, Ángel Di María was one of the main targets of Max Allegri. The coach insisted on moving to 4-3-3 and identified the Argentine as the ideal profile for the right wing.
But according to the Gazzetta dello Sport via JuventusNews24, the relationship between the Italian coach and his new star has already deteriorated.
The source explains that the winger is not the only one in the locker room who shares a poor relationship with the Livorno native.
Apparently, it all started with Allegri’s handling of Di Maria’s injury, possibly returning him to action prematurely.
The former PSG player suffered a blow to the adductor during his first appearance for Juventus, which was against Sassuolo on the opening day.
The 34-year-old returned a couple of weeks later at the Artemio Franchi against Fiorentina. Di Maria looked far from his optimal state during the Tuscan tour and only lasted 45 minutes. As a result, the player had to endure another spell on the treatment table.
In addition, the cameras captured the Argentine’s conversation with Arkadiusz Milik after the defeat in the Champions League against Benfica. Di Maria seemed to be questioning the coach’s decision to remove his Polish teammate, who was the most dangerous player on his team.
Naturally, the winger’s dismissal against Monza would only serve as a further blow to the rapport between the two men.
Di María apologized to the fans after the incident and took full responsibility for the loss. But in the end, #AllegriOut trended again on Twitter.
