Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah is optimistic Juventus can go a long way under head coach Maximilino Allegri.

Allegri was handed a contract extension with the Bianconeri until 2018 after winning the Italian Scudetto with the Club.

The former AC Milan manager has been able to clinch two Serie A titles with the Club since taking over from Antonio Conte.

Asamoah who is happy working under the Italian manager believes the 48-year-old can win more laurels with the Club.

“So many teams try to win in Italy and we won five titles in a row,” midfielder Asamoah told Sky Sport Italia.

“These four Scudetti I was involved in are the best things in my career and I’m very pleased to be a part of this group.

“We had difficulties at the start of the season, but did well to recover quickly, realise what the problem was and what we wanted to do.

“On a personal level I can say that I want to continue winning and I’m happy to do it with Coach Allegri. I am fine anywhere he wants me to play.

“It would be a unique achievement and won’t be easy,” continued Asamoah.

“As for next season, we must continue to do well in Italy, but can and must grow in Europe too. The Champions League is a great dream for us.”

“He is very good, is always close to the players both on the field and off. He helps those who play and those who are on the pitch less often.

“I am convinced that with him we can go a long way still.”

The Ghanaian international is rumored to be linked with a shock move to English giants Chelsea.
