Max Allegri was one of the world’s best coaches during his first spell as the manager of Juventus.
The Bianconeri won five consecutive league titles under his leadership, and his team reached the final of the Champions League twice. This success led Juventus to bring him back to the helm in 2021.
However, his second stint has been disappointing, and Juventus likely regrets replacing Andrea Pirlo with him.
While many fans want him to leave at the end of this season, Allegri still has supporters within the club who believe his struggles are due to the poor quality of the team.
Journalist Paolo De Paola has commented on the situation, insisting that Allegri’s best coaching days are now behind him.
He said, as quoted by Tuttojuve:
“Allegri is no longer a great coach. He was one in the past, but he is no longer one. We must recognize this fact without creating a tragedy. The numbers clearly demonstrate that Juventus have not won anything in the last few years. three years, and the first half against Cagliari was one of the lowest points for a team that, mind you, does not have a weak squad as some want to believe only to avoid admitting that Allegri is now inadequate to win the Italian Cup it could ease the disappointment, but it wouldn’t change the reality.”
Juve FC Says
Allegri seems to truly have lost the plot as a top-level manager, and his current stint does not make him a manager that teams will approach when he leaves the Allianz Stadium.

All shows the importance of Antonio Conte and the foundation he built!!
Allegris success was built on that, and given the chance to create a foundation to build something new, evidence is clear of his failings. Remember the squad Conte had when Juve went undefeated!! But hard work and grinta was installed as a compass into that group, on top of that the football was actually good for the yes as weell, subjective opinion.
Get Conte back to rebuild our team!!!
Like an old person who becomes afraid of walking because he might fall once he reaches a certain age, Allegri is afraid of taking the ball and initiate play. Always a definse and pragmatic coach, he have taken this to a new level in Allegri 2.0. The game has become harder to defend also since his hayday 10 years ago but it is clear that he no longer knows how to combine densive solidity with constructive play of more than 25 minutes and thus he has regressed to the only thing that he think is working and that is low block countaer attacking set piece football.
Max Allegri is still a great manager .. most of the players lack quality ( some can’t even control the ball or make the right passes! ) but Juve still hold 3rd position and may even overtake Milan ..
Max , when he had quality players, he delivered.
