Giorgio Chiellini has defended Max Allegri’s final two seasons as the Juventus manager, insisting no other coach could have done a better job.
Allegri lost his position as the Bianconeri’s gaffer weeks ago, and the club is now looking to replace him with Thiago Motta.
During Allegri’s second spell, Juve did not improve significantly over three seasons.
The team failed to win the league and only secured the Italian Cup shortly before he was sacked.
Many fans believe the team could have performed better under a different manager, but Chiellini thinks the current Juve team is simply not good enough.
He explained, as quoted by Calciomercato:
“I think he did the best he could do. You can discuss the quality of the game, but I think no coach in the world, Guardiola included, could do better than the last two years at Juventus.”
Juve FC Says
Allegri did not have the best of squads, but his team had enough quality to finish inside the top two, especially this season.
We have to move on, and Thiago Motta should know the stakes are high and that a lot is expected from his team.
Because: – if someone – like alegria – who does NOT want to win a championship, he will NEVER win. ; – anyone who does NOT want to teach attacking football can NEVER be a champion; – it means that alegria’s “knowledge…?” is VERY WEAK; – THIAGO MOTTA has KNOWLEDGE, he took the weaker Bologna to the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola with this Juve team would have won the scudetto and Coppa Italia. Allegri has become a dud coach set in his pre-historic ways. Football has passed him by. Just playing Locatelli as a regista shows how much Allegri does not know about football. Everyone could see it was a bad move except for him. Stubborn and stupid.
Good coatch use the strenght of his players before banging head to the wall using his one and only philosophy of playing. Juve is full of international players so they cant be SO bad.
