Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli has compared coach Max Allegri with Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi.
Locatelli played for De Zerbi at Sassuolo.
He told La Stampa: "They are opposite but unique. I feel close to De Zerbi because he changed my life. I was a kid who needed that sort of experience at Sassuolo. Get some slaps to then join a top team again.
When I arrived at Juventus I found a person with an impressive mentality. I like to listen to winners and he [Allegri] is as such. People can say all they want, but Allegri has always won.
We often talk, but I want to stay here for a long time and Roberto knows it. We'll meet again in the future. We both hope so."
