Juventus coach Max Allegri has messaged Paul Pogba since his doping ban verdict.

Former Manchester United midfielder Pogba has been banned for four years from football after failing a drug test earlier this season.

Allegri said: "I wrote him a message yesterday, or rather the day before yesterday. Humanly speaking, I am very sorry and from a footballing point of view, we are also losing an extraordinary player. I was lucky enough to work with him, to coach him: it's difficult to find players like that. "

Allegri avoided, as often happens in these cases, commenting specifically on the sentence: "I can't go into the merits of the sentence, there are bodies in charge.

"Humanly, I'm also sorry, because Paul is also a very good guy."
