Roma star Soule lifts lid on playing under Allegri: "He told me I had to cut my hair"

"Allegri always kept me in mind, even though I didn't play much. He gives you complete freedom in attack, but if you make tactical mistakes, he goes crazy. Di Francesco and Gasperini are similar; they pay maximum attention to defence."

"At Juventus, I had grown my hair long and dyed it blonde. The next day, he told me I had to cut my hair or I might as well not show up anymore. I was young, so after training, I immediately ran to the barber."

Matias Soulé made his senior debut at Juventus in 2021 and recorded 21 appearances over three seasons under Massimiliano Allegri. A loan to Frosinone turned him into a standout player, leading to a permanent transfer to Roma where Gian Piero Gasperini benefits from his performances. Soulé attracted interest from AC Milan during transfer talks and chose to represent Argentina internationally instead of Italy. Allegri kept Soule in consideration despite limited minutes, offered attacking freedom but reacted strongly to tactical errors. Allegri, Di Francesco, and Gasperini emphasize defensive discipline, and Allegri enforced strict appearance standards, ordering Soulé to cut his dyed hair.
