Juventus coach Max Allegri says he doesn't regret rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia.

Allegri was linked with Al-Nassr last season.

He said, "I have no regrets, when I returned to Juventus I signed a 4-year contract and leaving this year, after the many player changes, was not an idea.

"I want to leave Juventus, leaving a team that has a future, who will be able to fight to win.

"Arabia is now a reality and they are doing things well, taking high level players and average players. I'm not worried, the world is globalised.

"50 years ago China was light years away, now instead it is close, so is Arabia today. We have to look, observe, and deal with it."
