Kenan Yıldız, known for his remarkable learning speed, was eagerly signed by Juventus from Bayern Munich on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.

Following a year of training with Juventus Next Gen, the club’s junior team, Yıldız made 14 appearances for Juve Next Gen before being promoted to the first team last summer.

Despite high expectations, Max Allegri, the head coach, expressed dissatisfaction with Yıldız’s appearance, specifically his hair, after his debut in a 3-0 victory over Udinese.

In a post-match interview, Allegri stated, “He will cut his hair tomorrow because he has touched it a hundred times; therefore, let’s conduct ourselves properly.” Complying with the coach’s directive, the 18-year-old Yıldız promptly visited the barbershop the next day and shared a photo.

Although facing limited opportunities due to the absence of Juventus from European competitions and a competitive squad, Yıldız has demonstrated patience and determination in his pursuit of success with the club.
