Many believe that sacking Max Allegri would immediately solve Juventus’ problems. The team has faced difficulties since his return, despite winning two domestic trophies in the season prior to his arrival.
Allegri’s first spell with Juventus was a resounding success, making it puzzling why the team has struggled to replicate that form during his second tenure.
With the likes of Antonio Conte and Thiago Motta linked as potential replacements, Allegri may be running out of time to prove he’s still an effective coach by the summer.
However, Fabrizio Ravanelli has weighed in on Juventus’ struggles this season, suggesting that improving the squad is also necessary if the Bianconeri opt for a managerial change.
He said, as quoted by Calciomercato:
“For me the important thing is that the management strengthens the squad, taking players from Juve. If you change coach, but don’t buy 4-5 important players, it becomes difficult to believe that you can fight for the most important goals. This applies regardless: whether Allegri is still there or Motta arrives.”
Juve FC Says
Allegri is the team leader, and he needs to be removed first while we try to solve our playing problem.
The gaffer knows this could be his last months on the bench and will pray to end the term successfully.

Allegri’s first spell with Juventus was a success because he inherited a title winning team from Conte, who had cleaned up the mess created from being demoted to Serie B. Conte was the strong manager we needed then. Now, Allegri is brought in to clean up the mess created by senior management so the expectations of Allegri cannot be the same. We spent 100m on a 33 year old when that money needed to be used elsewhere in the squad – and that decision proved to be terrible for the team. And then forced to settle for the free agents that were just rejects from their teams. So I think Allegri is doing great considering the circumstances. We don’t have a title challenging team at all and yet we are still high up the table.
