Zenit St Petersburg signing Claudio Marchisio admits his relationship with Juventus coach Max Allegri wasn't the best last season.

Marchisio had his contract terminated ahead of moving to Zenit.

He said: “It was the time to take different paths.

"These two years were not easy, but that's the risk you take with this job. The one thing that disappointed me was, at times, to have been passed off as injured when I wasn't."
