Max Allegri has been losing supporters with every feeble display, but Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved had never been a fan of the Italian manager anyway.
In fact, the Czech was one of the catalysts (alongside former sporting director Fabio Paratici) behind the coach’s ousting in 2019.
Nonetheless, club president Andrea Agnelli decided to bring back the Livorno native two years later, handing him a lucrative long-term contract.
Despite the Old Lady’s miserable results and woeful displays, the patron is still backing the under-fire tactician, refusing to wield the axe.
Yet, this hasn’t apparently stopped Nedved from plotting against Allegri, despite the soft words spoken in public.
Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli claims that the Czech legend tried to replace Max with current Primavera manager Paolo Montero.
The Uruguayan served the Bianconeri valiantly during his playing days, dwelling in Turin between 1996 and 2005. He returned to the club last summer to take charge of the U-19 side.
“A few weeks ago, the alternative to Allegri was Nedved’s idea to put Montero at the helm, and try to recharge the team,” said Cobolli Gigli in an interview with TMW via JuventusNews24.
“But the company is fine with this situation, so let’s trust it’s assessment.
“They made a wrong transfer campaign with insecure used cars like Pogba and Di Maria. They were supposed to relaunch the team, but for now they have been a failure.
“[Milan general director] Maldini and [Napoli sporting director] Giuntoli find useful, talented players for reasonable prices, while we have never done such a thing. Our misfortunes began when we took Ronaldo for hefty figures.”
The last paragraph is spot on about Juve.
100% agree. That last paragraph sums up everything. Instead of building for the future, this group was all about marketability. Build the brand with a face, not a product.
Yeah, last paragraph indeed.
And who did this GOON sign when he was PRESIDENT?
BOUMSONG, AMAURI, DIEGO……..fuck off CG.
This serial ARSEHOLE, COBOLLI GIGLI should effin fuck the hell up.
After all, he was the one who accepted all the SHITE thrown at JUVENTUS and accepted meekly a demotion to SERIE B.
FUCK the HELL off , Cobolli Gigli. You are NOTHING.
Some characters have the INTELLECT and the mental potential of an AMOEBA. INCREDIBLE.
Our transfer market misfortunes never started from Ronaldo, it was just an accentuating piece of the entire shceme.
I think I agree with Cobolli Gigli on his words about wrong transfer campaigns.
OLD, experience, high miles age car was Juventus favorite while smart people buying a new cars.
i thought haaland and mbappe are 35years old players, because allegri kept saying that good players are experience players.
its almost like a mantra trying to brainwashed people that his decisions to play sht like cuadrado, mckenny, alex sandro, cesni are justifiable.
and hey lets give allegri the player he really wanted, i am impressed with that 7.8M PSG benchwarmer did nothing impressive since his here.
this club is going to bankruptcy trying to satisfied the manager that not even trained the players to attack and making goals.
basically agnelli give free expensive dinner to his friend while dreaming about his super league.
we probably going to be degradation on 1st season in super league.
A lot of unnecessary words. The main problem is Allegri.
True that..add Agnelli to the mix
