Roma striker Dybala compares Mourinho with Juventus coach Allegri

Roma striker Paulo Dybala says he's enjoying his football under coach Jose Mourinho.

After scoring in their Europa League defeat to Real Betis, Dybala was asked to compare Mourinho with his former Juventus coach Max Allegri.

He said, “I think they are in some ways very similar, in others not so similar. I have a much closer rapport with Mourinho, we talk more often, discuss ideas.

“On the field they are fairly similar, as the coaches focus on defensive work and controlling the match.

“Everyone has his own ideas and often we did not always see things the same way, but we both wanted to give our best for Juventus.

“I want to be clear, it is not controversy, we just had different ideas of how to approach the game, we didn't argue every day!

“Allegri was one of the coaches who gave me the most in helping me grow over the years at Juventus. I know that on social media some will stir up controversy, but I definitely don't mean it like that!"
