Watching Juventus play this season has indeed been challenging for fans, and much of the criticism has been directed towards their manager, Max Allegri.
Despite a promising start to the season, Juventus has experienced a decline in performance in recent weeks, leading to growing dissatisfaction among supporters.
Allegri has borne the brunt of the blame for the team’s struggles, with some fans even calling for his departure. His second stint at the club could end with his reputation tarnished unless he manages to secure at least an Italian Cup victory by the end of the season.
While Allegri shoulders much of the criticism, not everyone believes he is solely responsible for Juventus’ lacklustre performances. Journalist Sandro Veronesi argues that the team itself may not possess the quality required to achieve better results.
He said, as quoted by Tuttojuve:
“To Max’s detractors I say: if he were the problem, to solve it it would be enough to sack him, given that one year before his expiry he costs the company 18 million. I don’t blame him, when you have a Ferrari that doesn’t have the right engine Whoever leads matters little. Our squad, although expensive, is not championship-worthy. Look at Inter: they have 14 players of a very high level, we have a lower technical rate apart from 2-3 players.”
Juve FC Says
Allegri is a good manager and was a successful coach during his first stint as our manager.
But because a coach is only as good as his latest result, it is hard for him to prove to be a better manager if things don’t change.
Sandro Veronesi is being dishonest in his assessment. It’s the other way around. Juventus does not have the manager to do better. Everyone of these players performs better for their national teams than for Juventus under Allegri. Players that have left Juventus play better for their new clubs than what they did under Allegri. There is a common denominator here and it’s Allegri. Also, let’s not forget, it was Allegri who wanted Paredes, De Maria, Kostic, etc. yet he has failed.
“if he were the problem, to solve it it would be enough to sack him” – It should be tried after 3 years of failure.
Definitely quality players: Szczesny, Bremer, Danilo, Locatelli, Rabiot, Vlahović, Chiesa, Yildiz.
At least average: Cambiaso, Gatti, Kostić, Milik
But Allegri doesn’t know how to play offensively. He can’t exploit the ability of his players. If he had more quality players, they too would just lose faith. And his players are always injured, that’s also interesting.
We truly won`t find out until he is gone. This is the same looser mentality that Mourinho had at Roma – “we can`t do any better with this squad”. Now look at them with a rookie (albeit special) coach in DDR. Nevertheless, if you look over the course of 3 seasons, you would expect the team to at least in one of these, overachive to some extent. That have not been the case either as it`s at best performing according to ability, yet doing so playing dysfunctional football. Things are completly the same with no signs of any progress and then I believe it is time to part ways and bring in someone new.
Allegri by my opinion is not a top class coach who gained fame with already well established brilliant players.who had leaders in all areas of the field without even sticking to his plans.Now that he’s been saddled with lesser talent and leaders he could not come up with any solution to use the talents at his disposal. He cannot even recognise their strength. But always playing them out of position with no innovation. His only intent is not to concede and weight for a miracle happen up front.He should be sacked.
Go to hell fake journalist! I bet De Zerbi will make this squad to win scudetto and coppa.
