  1. Juventus considering three Serie A managers for post-Allegri role Juventus reportedly have three Serie A coaches on their shortlist as Max Allegri’s second reign could be drawing to a close. While the management continues to publicly back the under-fire tactician, but a divorce at the end of the season is becoming an increasingly likely possibility. ............ The first candidate on the list is obviously Thiago Motta who has left Calcio fans in awe this season. The Italo-Brazilian is leading Bologna towards a possible UCL qualification with his progressive brand of football. ............ The second name on the list is Vincenzo Italiano whose cycle at Fiorentina will reach its conclusion at the end of the season. Finally, Monza’s Raffaele Palladino is also being linked with a return to Turin. The 39-year-old is a former Juventus attacker who is currently showcasing remarkable coaching skills with the Biancorossi. ............

  2. Allegri’s mentor advises him to leave: “He would do well at Liverpool at Man Utd” Giovanni Galeone offers his take on Max Allegri’s situation at Juventus. He feels that the time has come for his old pupil to leave the club. The 83-year-old is a longtime friend of the Bianconeri manager and is also widely recognized as his mentor since the beginning of his coaching career. ............ “Until some time ago, I would have told Max to stay,” said Galeone in his interview. “Now, however, I would tell him that the time has come to seek success abroad and follow in the footsteps of Capello and Ancelotti. “Allegri has coached and won at Milan and Juventus. He is in his eighth season with Juventus and only Trapattoni has more appearances than him. “I don’t see Max in Saudi Arabia, but he would be perfect for the Premier League. “This will be a summer of great changes across Europe. Max would do well at Liverpool post-Klopp or Man Utd.” ............ “Perhaps Giuntoli arrived too late in the summer, but for now, he hasn’t had an impact on the transfer market. “Juventus have excellent young players but they need to add four or five important signings. “Koopmeiners in midfield, Calafiori in defense and Felipe Anderson on the wing would be excellent reinforcements. “But I think something else is also missing. Locatelli is having to adapt to the Regista role, so perhaps they need a new player in this position.” Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/allegris-mentor-advises-him-to-leave-he-would-do-well-at-liverpool-at-man-utd/
  3. “Do you know how to be a coach?” Allegri starting to feel the heat Max Allegri has appeared to snap back at a journalist who questioned his team’s poor form after they dropped points to Genoa today. Juve has been on a terrible run of form, and that draw means they are further at risk of struggling to finish inside the top three in Serie A. ............ The Bianconeri coach is clearly not a happy man as things are not going his team’s way at the moment, and when a journalist questioned the team’s result, he said: “It seems to me that we are third at the moment. Do you know how to be a coach? Because I don’t know how to be a journalist… I don’t have to go after the public, and I don’t allow myself to tell you how to do the job.” “If you ask intelligent questions, you get an answer. You do not need to understand, just ask questions!” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/do-you-know-how-to-be-a-coach-allegri-starting-to-feel-the-heat/
  4. Sacchi dissects Juventus: “A movie without a plot, hurt by the defeat to Inter” Legendary manager Arrigo Sacchi analyzes the dire situation at Juventus which is seeing the club bleeding points. The Bianconeri have only accumulated seven points from their last eight league fixtures. ............ “Juventus failed at home and received understandable boos from the supporters,” argued the 77-year-old. “It must be said that Gilardino’s Genoa is a grumpy team to face. They have great team spirit combined with very strong motivations and physical qualities.” ............ “The Bianconeri have shown the limitations that have been holding them back for some time. If they have only earned seven points in the last eight games, there must be a reason. Or perhaps more than one. “Watching the situation from the outside and without knowing the internal dynamics, Juve seems like a movie without a plot. “There is no game plan, no logical thread that keeps all the elements connected. “Playing football without a specific game plan is rather difficult. You have to rely on the individual qualities of the players and, consequently, on counterattacks.” ............ “I believe that the defeat suffered at San Siro against Inter had a significant influence on Juve’s path. “The Bianconeri realized that they were not at the level of the Nerazzurri and therefore could not compete for the Scudetto. So yes, they are psychologically weakened. “If they had had a game to support them, they probably would have clung to that, but having few ideas, the team ran into considerable problems. “Allegri is an expert and pragmatic coach. Now it’s up to him to find a solution and try to chase second place in the standings.” Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/sacchi-dissects-juventus-a-movie-without-a-plot-hurt-by-the-defeat-to-inter/
  5. “It’s too little” Andrea Barzagli reacts to Juventus draw with Genoa Former Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli has reacted to their dropped points against Genoa this afternoon, insisting that it is not good enough for a team like the Bianconeri. Genoa came to Turin hoping to avoid defeat, and they achieved their aim as Juve laboured but could not break them down. ............ Barzagli did not enjoy what he watched and said: “Juventus’ first half was worrying. I expected the Bianconeri to be more aggressive, but they played passively and didn’t involve their attackers. They had zero chances. In the second half, they started strong and the substitutions revolutionized their attack, but they only had chances towards the end. It’s too little for a team like this.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/its-too-little-andrea-barzagli-reacts-to-juventus-draw-with-genoa/
  6. Allegri insists Juventus result against Genoa does not worry him Max Allegri insists he is not a worried man despite his team’s draw against Genoa, which stretches their winless run. Juve is on a downward spiral and could soon be embroiled in the race for the fourth spot in the league. That would be shocking, considering they were at the top of the league standings just weeks ago. ............ Juve has lost the fear factor, and that should worry any manager when your team cannot defeat Genoa at this stage of the season. However, after their game against the Griffin, Allegri was asked if he was worried, and he said: “Today I am satisfied because I saw character, the team fought, they were involved in the match. The 0-0 is disappointing but this is a step forward towards the end of the season. I’m not worried, but we need to score points.” ............

  7. Journalist makes a strange claim about Juventus against Genoa Juventus had a disappointing game today as they were held to a draw at home by Genoa. The men in black and white have seen their confidence take a hit due to a series of poor results in the last few weeks. The game against Genoa was another opportunity for them to return to form and secure a victory. However, Juve couldn’t break through for the entirety of the game, which was disheartening to witness. ............ Journalist Gianfranco Teotino observed their struggles and insisted that the team displayed a lot of nervousness in the match. He said: “There was a lot of nervousness, not only on Vlahovic’s part, but also the other players exchanged heated words and expressed dissatisfaction with the substitutions. This only confirms the total uselessness of the withdrawal because it only made the most agitated team. “The first half was really bad, with some improvement in the second half thanks to the substitutions. Iling seemed the most lively, but the team did not perform up to its potential. Some players on the pitch make you think whether I’m in the right position or not, and this issue has been going on for weeks.” ............

  8. Dusan Vlahovic’s red card sums up another poor Juventus performance Juventus’s appalling run of form continued today after dropping two more points in a goalless draw against mid-table Genoa. Juventus started the game with the struggling partnership of Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic after the Serbian returned to the team following suspension. Genoa was hoping to become the latest club to steal points off Juve in Turin and started the game by keeping the home side at bay as much as they could. ............ However, even with Fabio Miretti playing deep at times, Juve never looked like scoring, as their attacking players lost the ball too easily too often. Gatti eventually had a shot blocked as Juve became frustrated, and Danilo received the first yellow card of the game in the last noteworthy action before halftime. At the start of the second half, Gatti had his third attempt of the game, and it seemed apparent a defender could be the first to score for them despite their star-studded attack. Minutes later, Samuel Iling Junior clipped the post after coming on as a substitute as Juve tried to get the first goal of the match. That was the closest they had come to scoring all game. Shortly after that, Vlahovic headed wide from a fine cross from Andrea Cambiaso as Juve pressed for a goal. The introduction of Adrien Rabiot and Kenan Yildiz, among others, added more bite to the Juve attack, and it began to ask more questions of the Genoa defence. ............ Max Allegri made another change and brought on Tim Weah for Fabio Miretti, and Moise Kean came on for the impressive Cambiaso. It was a change few expected, but Juve needed a goal at all costs now, and Kean had not scored all season. ............ Just when the perfect chance broke for Kean, the striker slammed it against the post, but it wouldn’t have counted as Vlahovic was offside in the build-up. That just showed how poor Kean’s luck has been all season. Shortly afterwards, things went from bad to worse for Juve as Vlahovic was sent off for dissent after receiving two quick yellow cards. That was the worst way for Juve to end the game, but the match ended with Juve failing to win again. At least they kept a clean sheet.

  9. AUGURI DI CUORE MISTER TRAPATTONI! 85 ANNI!
  10. Juventus vs. Genoa match preview Juventus have one more game before the March international break to try and actually win a game. As they take the field Sunday afternoon, Juventus will be 90 or so minutes away from their first international break of 2024. It has been quite the interesting 3 1⁄2 months of the new year — first for very good and encouraging reasons, but for the seven or eight weeks for the exact opposite of that. Considering the form that they are on, it’s probably a much-needed international break that is on the immediate horizon. ............ Either way, for the second time in a month, Juventus will be one half of the Serie A lunchtime kickoff. It just so happens that first one, late last month, was the only win that Max Allegri’s squad has recorded in the last seven games, a 3-2 victory over Frosinone which was far from what you would consider “vintage” or “reassuring” based on how they played both before and after. This Sunday’s opponent, 12th-place Genoa, just so happens to be one of the few teams to take points off Juventus when they were in much better form, and very much have things of importance in their own right as they try to lock up a spot in Serie A next season and try to put an end to a run of one win the last six games. That’s right, people. We have a team that has won one game in their last seven outings hosting a team that has won just once in their last six games. Over the last six games, Juventus and Genoa have combined to earn ... 10 points. That is less than Serie A heavyweights who go by the name of Monza have earned all on their own over that same six-game span. That’s also less than the two teams in front of Juventus in the Serie A standings, Inter Milan and AC Milan, as well as two of the teams chasing them for a Champions League spot, Bologna and Roma, have earned, too. ............ Juve coaches and players alike have recognized the delicate nature of this moment, electing to go into a mini ritiro of sorts on Friday, a day earlier than usual for home games. The only way to know if that move actually pays off will be by how they play. And considering just how poor the results have been of late, one might simply be hoping that the final whistle sounds and three points are secured more than anything. Of Juve’s last 10 remaining games this season, Genoa are the second-lowest ranked team on the schedule. Things were never going to be simple for Allegri’s squad, so now that you add in the kind of form that you see from relegation battlers rather than a team that still finds itself in the top four, it is a total mystery as to what this team will be able to do down the final stretch. But, like I said, it’s not like Genoa are in much better form over the last six games. So maybe Juventus are catching Alberto Gilardino’s side at the right time. You could also say that Genoa are certainly catching Juve at the right time — which, considering how valuable points are at this juncture of the season, is not the greatest development. With Bologna winning on Friday night, the gap between third place and fourth is down to all of four points. Roma, under Daniele De Rossi, suddenly look like a team that is going to be tough to slow down as they face 19th-place Sassuolo on Sunday. ............ TEAM NEWS Adrien Rabiot is the biggest name of those who are back in the squad after their respective injury absence both short and much, much longer. Although Allegri admitted that Rabiot “doesn’t have 90 minutes in the tank just yet,” the Frenchman is expected to be in the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon. MATTIA DE SCIGLIO BACK! That’s right, folks — the Italian fullback who hasn’t been called up all season is back in the matchday squad as he is just one more step away from completing his comeback from major knee surgery. De Sciglio last appeared in a game on May 5, 2023, against Lecce before being forced out after 31 minutes after he tore his ACL in his right knee. Another guy named Mattia, backup goalkeeper Mattia Perin, is also back in the squad after returning to full training earlier in the week. Perin missed the last five games with a knee injury he picked up in training. The only Juventus player who will miss Genoa’s trip to Turin is Carlos Alcaraz. Or so we thought. Allegri announced at his pre-match press conference that Arek Milik will miss Sunday’s game with an undisclosed injury. Milik will be re-evaluated after the international break. The other two players who will not face Genoa are suspended: Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba. Dusan Vlahovic is back in the squad after serving a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation last weekend against Atalanta. Vlahovic, who has a team-best 15 goals this season, is expected to start alongside Federico Chiesa up front on Sunday. Despite the recent struggles, Allegri said the team has “had a good week” in training and that the team going into ritiro is a sign that they understand what needs to be done to try and right the ship. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH Juventus’ midfield has been a little less French the last couple of weeks. As much as Fabio Miretti has filled in admirably for Rabiot, it’s pretty clear that Juventus’ midfield has missed their vice captain. And simply Juventus as a whole. Miretti may be talented, but Rabiot he is not, and the up-and-down nature of his play is still very much present. ............ MATCH INFO When: Sunday, March 17, 2024.

  11. Allegri: Football is not an exact science Coach’s comments as Juventus prepare to take on Genoa Juventus are slipping and sliding furiously now with only one win in the last seven games, a run that has not only allowed the consistent Inter Milan to pretty much run away with the Scudetto, but now AC Milan have also made up ground on the Bianconeri and sit ahead of them with ten rounds to go. With a game against 12th placed Genoa on the cards, coach Massimiliano Allegri gave an update on the squad fitness. With Juventus already qualified for the Club World Cup to be held in the summer of 2025, would that be a reason for him to stay and see out the last year of his contract? Why does Kenan Yildiz look to have been demoted?

  12. Juventus vs Genoa: Preview and Prediction Juventus will be desperate to return to winning ways when they welcome Genoa to the Allianz Stadium on Sunday. The 2023/24 Serie A season has resumed this week with Matchday 29. Sunday will bring us five matches before we pause for the international break. And the action on the day will kick off at the Allianz Stadium, where a struggling Juventus will host Genoa. Juventus had seemingly overcome the issues of recent seasons in the first half of the 2023/24 campaign. The Bianconeri looked like the best bet to challenge Inter Milan for the Serie A title, especially considering they did not have any European commitments. But they have won only one of their last seven games to fall to third on the table, a point behind AC Milan, with Bologna only four points behind. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Massimiliano Allegri has greeted several positive updates on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture. Against Genoa on Sunday, the Juventus manager will be bereft of the services of four first-team players. The Italian tactician has Dusan Vlahovic back from a suspension after he missed last weekend’s game against Atalanta. In addition, Mattia Perin, Mattia De Sciglio and Adrien Rabiot have resumed this week and should be in the matchday squad on Sunday. So, Carlos Alcaraz (hamstring) is the only player in the treatment room. Wojciech Szczesny should take his spot between the sticks, with Juventus lining up in a 3-5-2 formation in front of him against Genoa. The central defensive unit should feature Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, and Danilo. Meanwhile, Andrea Cambiaso and Samuel Iling-Junior will likely start as the two wing-backs. As for the midfield unit, the fit-again Rabiot should feature, joining Manuel Locatelli and Weston McKennie in the middle of the park. The latter will provide the creative spark from the central areas. Finally, Federico Chiesa and Vlahovic should be the two attackers for the home side. Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Iling-Junior; Chiesa, Vlahovic Genoa ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-1-1): Martinez; De Winter, Bani, Vasquez; Frendrup, Messias, Badelj, Malinovskyi, Spence; Gudmundsson; Retegui Key Stats Genoa are unbeaten in their last two Serie A games against Juventus (W1 D1), last going without a defeat longer in the competition between February 1990 and October 1991 (four matches). After playing out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, Juventus and Genoa can end up with two stalemates in the same Serie A campaign for only the third time. Juventus are unbeaten in their last 19 home games against Genoa in Serie A (W15 D4), conceding an average of only 0.6 goals per game across the period while keeping ten clean sheets. Juventus have managed only six points in their last seven Serie A games (W1 D3 L3), with only four teams managing fewer points than them during this period. Genoa have lost their last two Serie A games and can record three successive defeats for the first time this season. Their three defeats in their most recent five league matches are the same as in their previous 14 (W5 D6). Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic Amid a sub-par run of form, scoring multiple goals to blow their opponents away has been one of the issues for the hosts. While Juventus’s defensive frailties have become a talking point, they also need more consistency from those in front of the backline. But that is not the case with Dusan Vlahovic. The Serb has been in decent touch in recent outings, amassing nine goals and one assist in his last eight Serie A outings. Juventus missed Vlahovic last weekend against Atalanta and will be glad to have him back from a suspension. Meanwhile, the former Fiorentina striker will be eager to stamp his authority and guide his team to a much-needed win. Prediction Juventus 1-1 Genoa Sunday’s early match features two teams that have been among the worst sides on form in the last few weeks. Juventus and Genoa have only one win in their most recent six matches, making this a must-win clash for them. But with their defensive frailties holding them back, Juventus and Genoa will endure another frustrating result this weekend. The Hard Tackle predicts a 1-1 draw between the two teams, adding to the pressure on Massimiliano Allegri.

  13. Rugani is turning down offers as he wants to remain at Juventus Daniele Rugani remains keen on staying at Juventus despite his contract expiring in the summer. The defender has been one of Juventus’ most experienced players for some time and serves as a valuable influence in the dressing room. Having been with Juventus for much of his professional career, Rugani desires to conclude his playing days with the Bianconeri. ............. Rugani has received multiple offers to depart from the Allianz Stadium, but he remains uninterested and is determined to remain at Juventus. Discussions regarding his future between his representatives and Juventus have taken place, but as of now, no concrete agreement has been reached. .............

  14. Juventus drops to 18th in the latest UEFA rankings Juventus’ non-participation in European competitions this season has affected their UEFA rankings, and they are close to being knocked out of the top 20. Max Allegri’s men were banned from European competitions this season, even though they originally made the top four in Italy and have been playing just domestic football. In their absence, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio, and Napoli represented Serie A in the Champions League. However, Juve remains one of the biggest clubs in the world and has qualified for the Club World Cup for 2025. But they are slipping out of the top 20 in the UEFA rankings, they ranked 18th in the latest UEFA standings. ............
