Juventus coach Max Allegri says he'd welcome the chance to match Sir Alex Ferguson's longevity at Manchester United.

Ferguson won 38 trophies as United manager over 27 years.

And Allegri says: “There's always someone who wants to make football more difficult, and it drives me crazy.

“I don't feel that way about anyone in particular. I can only say that they make what's simple complicated.

“Simplicity is the most complicated thing, but we're going in the wrong direction because complicating things makes our work even more difficult.

“A corporate coach is a coach who brings results. I consider myself a manager for the club, who has to bring home results at the end of the season, not only on a sporting level but also in terms of player growth.

“These are results that ultimately affect the club's financial statements. I hope I have a role like Ferguson's because it would mean staying at Juventus for so many years."
