While last night’s victory in Udine spelled the end of the club’s campaign, Max Allegri’s future at Juventus remains the hottest debate amongst supporters and observers alike.
For his part, the manager continues to defend his work at Continassa, pointing to the improved point-tally that his players managed to muster despite all the calamitous events that were ensuing off the pitch.
However, a large section of the fans would argue that the style of play continues to regress under the watch of the Livorno native.
For his part, Allegri reckons that the final decision lies in the hands of the Juventus management, particularly with Chief Football Officer Francesco Calvo.
The 55-year-old spoke to Sky Sport and DAZN following his side’s 1-0 victory over Udinese at the Dacia Arena.
“I’m sorry by I’m not here to talk about the game or the third place which is an improvement on last season. I’m here to thank all the guys, who worked with me,” said the tactician in his post-match interviews as published by Calciomercato.
“From the warehouse workers to those who stuck by to the end. I’m really proud of this team and these men, players, doctors, warehouse workers. I worked all year with professionalism, passion, patience. Nothing else matters.
“Tomorrow I’m going home, to my family. Fortunately next Sunday one of my horses will be running in the Grand Prix.
“In July, the management will do the planning as usual. Calvo will decide, he’s the head of the sporting department and he will tell us what the club will do.
“Thank you all. I’m tired,. On July 10, I will go back to work. After this season, I can’t wait to go on vacation.”
The manager was also asked if terminating his contract is a possibility, but he quickly dismissed the notion.
“There are no negotiations, I have a two-year contract and I’m available to the club.
“The club has one month to lay plans for the transfer market and next season in the best possible way.”
How has the club improved? The UCL was a disaster as at least last year we passed the group stages. Last year we made the coppa Italia final, yet this year we did not. We lost amost every game to the clubs that were on top of us or just below. Two losses to Napoli, two to Milan, one to Roma, one to Inter. Heck we lost to Monza twice and some team called Macaibi Haifa. WTF is this lunatic saying!!!!
This man has no honour, no dignity and no shame. Not just a terrible manager who is stuck in the past, but also a person of dubious quality.
Players that we spend large sum were not thriving under his managment. He can be proud that he transform the squad to have 10 defenders in the match. Even Messi, Mbape etc. would struggle and drop in performans under his tactic.
Juve fans have lost words for this man..he is not even thinking of giving up. Very funny, he should have admitted these awful outcomes. In what competition have we improve Sir? We are.not enjoying almost all the games this team playing and losing interest watching…let alone winning.
He’s Agnelli’s man on a high payroll & considering financial troubles, this guy is making a fortune and giving bullshit in media. No player is happy, playing under him. Either he leaves now, or players like Vlahovic, Chiesa, Locatelli, Szczęsny leaving in same window. He has regressed player’s values and positions with his negative tactics. It’s a sin for any club to have Allegri as a coach.
