Bonucci thanks Juventus players and fans but snubs Allegri

The defender's relationship with the coach turned sour last season, leading to the new AC Milan player overlooking him in his message to fans

Leonardo Bonucci has paid tribute to the Juventus fans and his former team-mates after agreeing a shock move to Serie A rivals AC Milan, but made no mention of boss Massimiliano Allegri.

Milan will pay a reported €42 million for the 30-year-old centre-back, who will sign a five-year contract at San Siro upon the completion of a medical.

Bonucci was a crowd hero at Juve and a star performer as they captured the last six Serie A titles.
