Why Allegri and Giuntoli’s relationship broke down One notable issue at Juventus lately is the breakdown in the relationship between Max Allegri and Cristiano Giuntoli. When Giuntoli joined the club last summer, he vowed to help Allegri build a team capable of winning trophies. The club did not make many moves during the summer transfer window, yet Juve still had a very good first half of the campaign. ............ In January, the team had lost Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli, so Max Allegri demanded two midfielders. He specifically requested Giacomo Bonaventura and Roberto Pereyra, two players who would have cost small fees because their contracts were expiring. However, the report claims Giuntoli showed up with Carlos Alcaraz late into the transfer window, and that was the beginning of their problems. Since then, the manager and the sporting director have not been on good terms, and Allegri is set to be dismissed. ............

Indimenticabile "Pigna" Montero!

Mi fa piacere per il Talismano

Ma forse sono stati esonerati anche loro essendo collaboratori di Max.

Montero é amico di Pavel. Non lo fará superare da Alex Sandro.

Sky predict when Allegri could be sacked by Juventus Sky Sport Italia are reporting that Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is at great risk of losing his job after Wednesday evening’s Coppa Italia final against Atalanta, despite the Bianconeri securing the trophy after a 1-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico. Multiple outlets in Italy have reported that Juventus hierarchy were not pleased at all by Allegri’s touchline conduct and the reported threats he made to Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago. The Bianconeri tactician reportedly called Vaciago a ‘Sh** editor,” and told him to “write the truth in your newspaper, not what the clubs tell you.” Allegri is believed to have followed up with: “I know where to find you. I’ll come, and I’ll rip both your ears out. I’ll come and hit you in the face, write the truth in your newspaper.” ............ The board reportedly feel that Allegri did not conduct himself in the true “Juventus style.” The coach is currently under contract until the summer of 2025, but Thursday’s report suggests that his second spell at the Allianz Stadium could come to an end before then, and possibly even before the end of the 2024-25 season. Sky confirm that the decision will need to be approved by CEO Maurizio Scanavino, after consulting with John Elkann, club President Gianluca Ferrero and the club’s legal department. If Juventus do decide to part ways with Allegri, Sky believe that a decision could come as early as Friday, likely in the evening after the stock market closes.

Juventus may sack Allegri before the end of the season Multiple reports in Italy confirm Juventus could sack Massimiliano Allegri before the end of the season, even today, as the club didn’t like the way the coach behaved during and after the Atalanta game and because they would change coach at the end of the season anyway. Allegri’s time at Juventus could be over already. Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano confirm the Serie A giants may sack the Italian tactician before the end of the season, perhaps even today. Football Italia reported this morning that the Italian tactician could be sacked following his outbursts against club directors and Tuttosport editor last night in Rome. Sky Sport correspondent Giovanni Guardalà ‘can’t guarantee’ Allegri will be in charge in the next Serie A game against Bologna on Monday. ............

Allegri reportedly threatened and insulted journalist after Juventus’ Coppa Italia win Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago says Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri threatened and insulted him last night, after winning the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome: ‘I’ll rip your ears out.’ Juventus coach Allegri reportedly threatened and insulted Tuttosport editor-in-chief Guido Vaciago last night. There had been reports that Allegri had had a brutal confrontation with a journalist last night and Vaciago revealed he was the one targeted by the Italian tactician. The journalist says Allegri told him: ‘Sh** editor, write the truth in your newspaper, not what the clubs tells you.” Vaciago replied by telling Allegri to remain calm and explain which truths he should be writing, but it didn’t end there. The Italian coach reportedly pushed the journalist and put his finger under his nose, adding: “I know where to find you. I’ll come, and I’ll rip both your ears out. I’ll come and hit you in the face, write the truth in your newspaper.” ............ Read more -> https://football-italia.net/allegri-threatened-insulted-journalist/

Juve claim Coppa Italia in chaotic, controversial final vs. Atalanta Italy’s showpiece match came off the rails as the clock ticked on, but Juve ultimately outlasted their opponents to take home their first trophy in three years. The last time Juventus won a trophy, it came in the Coppa Italia final in 2021. The opponent was Atalanta. On Wednesday night, Juventus’ only shot left at a trophy for the 2023-24 season came in the Coppa Italia final. The opponent was Atalanta. Andrea Pirlo’s Juve came into that final three years ago as the decided underdogs against an Atalanta team that was at the absolute height of their powers under Gian Piero Gasperini. This year, Massimiliano Allegri’s men came in even more firmly entrenched as the underdogs. Atalanta were coming into the match on a tear, taking firm control of the race for Serie A’s fifth and final Champions League spot. Juventus ... well, we all know what Juventus have done since the end of January — two wins and 15 points in their last 15 league games, to say nothing of qualifying for this final by the skins of their teeth. And yet, somehow, they managed to match what they achieved at the Mapei Stadium three years ago. It was an incredibly entertaining game that got more open — and less controlled — as the time went on. Unfortunately, it’s likely going to be remembered as much or perhaps more for the abysmal performance of referee Fabio Maresca than anything either team did on the field. But ultimately Juve did exactly what they needed to. They scored early thanks to an excellent goal, then defended almost perfectly for what, after stoppage time, turned out to be more than a full 90 minutes. They never let Maresca’s shoddy officiating bring them too low, and, when the final whistle finally sounded, their 1-0 victory touched off wild celebrations on the field at the Stadio Olimpico. ............ Juventus dialed things up to 11 immediately. Atalanta had dialed up a press in the early moments, but the first time they gave Juve a few seconds on the ball, they pounced. Bremer passed the ball into midfield, where McKennie flipped it to Cambiaso. As he has all season, the Italian put out a gorgeous touch pass, sending Vlahovic clean through the defense. Hiem caught up with him and tried to disrupt proceedings, but Vlahovic held him off perfectly and then slotted home past Carnesecchi with his right foot, touching off a spate of jubilant celebrations. with all of four minutes on the clock. If you’ve known anything about Allegri over the course of the last three years, you’d be forgiven for wondering if Juventus had scored a little too early. The way Allegri has played during his second stint in Turin, it seemed like 86 minutes plus stoppages was ripe for mounting pressure to whole scale while Juve defended for their lives. Juve did begin to drop back, but before they did they saw a corner form Nicolussi Caviglia glance just over off the head of Gatti. After that close call, Atalanta did begin to start dominating the possession. ............ The narrative started to shift from the players to the officiating around 10 minutes into the second period. It was then that Hien, who had been booked in the first half for hitting Chiesa with a knee-high boot, blatantly barged Vlahovic over in the box. This was not a case of shoulder-to-shoulder contact. Not only did the defender jam his shoulder into his back, he also took him out at the knee with his own. Somehow, Maresca missed this blatant foul — one that would likely have ended the game then and there with Juve having a chance to double their lead from the spot and Hien in the locker room after a second yellow. VAR official Valerio Marini similarly failed to do his job properly, casting a pall over the rest of proceedings. Maresca quickly began to lose control of the match. Rabiot was pulled back by Pasalic as he began to run on the counter, and while Maresca called the foul he didn’t produce a card — except for one to Vlahovic, who was still smarting over the penalty incident and jawing with the ref. ............ Vlahovic was at the center of it again, this time glancing a header into the net after Cambiaso had been given all day to cross and put in a beautiful spinning ball. But soon Maresca halted play, and eventually called Vlahovic offside — by a margin so minuscule as to essentially be the fabric on his jersey and nothing more. It was a ridiculous call that gave prevented Juve from drifting to the finish. ............ Six minutes of stoppage time went up on the board, and halfway through that time the last of Maresca’s ridiculous night came to its close. Perin had made an excellent save on Ederson, one that ultimately hadn’t counted, because of a foul on Danilo. It wasn’t immediately apparent that Maresca had called for a foul, and by that point Allegri lost his shit. He ripped off his jacket and screamed into the face of the fourth official to the point that Maresca sent him off, prompting a sarcastic round of applause by Allegri, who then pulled off his tie and looked like he was about to do the same with his shirt before returning to the fourth official and giving him another facefull of volume to the point where Marco Landucci had to not-so-gently lead him away. The incident added another three minutes onto the back end of added time, but Juve navigated it excellently, and when Perin caught the final desperation launch into the box and Maresca blew his whistle for — mercifully — the last time, Juventus had, against all odds, won their 15th Coppa Italia. LE PAGELLE MATTIA PERIN - 6. Didn’t have all that much to do in this game. ............ FEDERICO GATTI - 7. The entire back three was heroic in this one, and Gatti was no exception. He totaled five tackles and five clearances, and won all but one of his duels on the ground and in the air. BREMER - 8. This man was immense. He made 11 clearances and blocked four shots to go with a pair of tackles and an interception. The only reason this isn’t higher is because his passing was poor — he only completed 61 percent. DANILO - 8. What didn’t this man do? He made six tackles (one of which came as the last man), five interceptions, six clearances, and two blocks. Dude even had a key pass on the other end. He thoroughly deserved to hoist the trophy at the end of the night. ANDREA CAMBIASO - 7.5. Absolutely beautiful pass for the assist on the goal, and if IFAB had ever gotten off their ass and do something about the offside rule he would’ve had a second that was just as splendid. Also had three tackles and a pair of clearances on the defensive end. WESTON McKENNIE - 6. ............ HANS NICOLUSSI CAVIGLIA - 6. Had to be solid in the midfield for Juve to have any chance, and he was exactly that for the hour he was on the pitch. Delivered a couple of good corners and blocked a shot defensively. ADRIEN RABIOT - 6.5. ............ SAMUEL ILING-JUNIOR - 6. ............ FEDERICO CHIESA - 6. Decision making in the final third could’ve used a tiny bit of work, but he was still vintage Chiesa for most of the time he was on the pitch, and tracked back well defensively, credited with three tackles and an interception. DUSAN VLAHOVIC - 7.5. Had one of his best games on a night it really mattered. Took his goal superbly, should’ve had his second given to him, and his passing also drew a lot of teammates into the game. SUBS FABIO MIRETTI - 6.5. ............ KENAN YILDIZ - 5.5. Didn’t make much worthy of buzz except taking that stomp to the nads later onr. TIMOTHY WEAH - NR. ............ ARKADKIUSZ MILIK - NR. ............ LOOKING AHEAD The last two games on the schedule are relatively meaningless. First, an away trip to Bologna on Monday, followed by a home match against Monza in the season finale.

Juventus 1 - Atalanta 0: Initial reaction and random observations Juventus were not the favorites entering Wednesday night’s Coppa Italia final. Not by a long shot considering just how poorly they had been playing. Even the way in which they got to the Coppa final, needing every bit of the lead they built in the first leg, came as corto muso as you can get even though they technically lost that semifinal against Lazio. Juve’s overall form over the last 3 1⁄2 months didn’t fill you with confidence, either. And yet ... This team that has given all of us so much frustration ever since the last weekend of January gave us at least one reason to smile Wednesday night. Juventus scored just four minutes in thanks to Dusan Vlahovic’s brilliant opener, Max Allegri’s squad hunkered down and gave us flashes back to the first half of the season when things were going much, much better than they have when the calendar flipped. They defended like hell, they counterattacked when they could and should have been up by two goals if not for a part of Vlahovic’s sleeve apparently being offside and they did what they’ve failed to do for much of the last three-plus months. They looked like a team again. When the final whistle blew — just a few minutes after Allegri went absolutely apeshit on the sideline and nearly left the field without a shirt on — Juventus finished off their 1-0 win over Atalanta that captured the club’s 15th Coppa Italia and meant that there’s going to be a little something extra added to next season’s jersey that is expected to be a return to regular stripes. If these next couple of weeks are going to be Allegri’s last days at Juventus like everybody expects them to be, this was one hell of a way to go out. You could tell by the way that he was taking it all in as he sat on the advertising boards and watched his team celebrate with the fans in the curva at the Stadio Olimpico, that it’s certainly looked that way. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS You want to see this time fight in the last meaningful game they had this season. And, to my surprise, there they were going out there and taking an early lead against of the most in-form teams Serie A (and probably Europe) has to offer right now. How ‘bout that?! This performance also gives confirmation to the notion that once the Scudetto was out of reach, then this team really didn’t have the energy for much of anything else other than the Coppa Italia. Clearly this team can do it, but the weekly grind of everything after they fell behind Inter for good there just simply wasn’t Mattia Perin didn’t have to make a single save in the first half. That’s what you like to see no matter how capable of a No. 2 keeper he is. The one shot on goal by either team in the first half? Yeah, it was Vlahovic’s goal. Vlahovic should have had two goals, and even though the second one technically didn’t count, I’m going to remember that celebration from him and the team. That was just pure passion, happiness and everything in between. Just a beautiful sight to see them celebrating something good again. That goes for Andrea Cambiaso shedding some happy tears as the team celebrated after the final whistle. For a young player who has had a breakout season that has him on the cusp of being on Italy’s Euro 2024 roster, what a way to cap off his first year with Juve. Also, that assist from Cambiaso to Vlahovic on the opening goal was an absolute peach. So was Cambiaso’s assist on Vlahovic’s goal that didn’t count. Watch that back in slow motion because the spin Cambiaso put on the ball was hypnotizing. Overall, on a night where a lot of Juve players played very well, Cambiaso was right up there. Maybe not as well as Vlahovic or Bremer or Danilo because those dudes were GREAT, but Cambiaso certainly showed up and proved to be a decisive player in a big game. So did Vlahovic, who somehow has a label of not scoring in big games. He did on this night — twice. And let’s be real, he also should have won a penalty kick in the second half. Yet, somehow, Isak Hien shoving a shoulder into Vlahovic rib cage, crashing into his knee and having a handful of his jersey wasn’t enough to call a penalty. If that ain’t gonna be a penalty — that wasn’t even looked at by VAR! — I don’t know what actually is. ............ Same kind of thing applies to Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who held his own as he stood in for Manuel Locatelli. He didn’t look nervous, didn’t have horrid turnovers all over the place, and just looked ... solid. That’s what Juve needed from him against Atalanta, and they got it. So on top of having to deal with gastroenteritis the last couple of weeks, now Kenan Yildiz gets studs right to the crotch and there’s absolutely no card shown for it. Good refereeing. I think it’s safe to say that Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa were pretty damn exhausted when they were each subbed out. They worked their asses off and deserve all the rest they will get when Juve gets back to Turin. ............

Juventus Player Ratings vs Atalanta: Vlahovic Seals 15th Coppa Italia Juventus (3-5-2) Mattia Perin – 6 The former Genoa man was a spectator for the entire match ............ Federico Gatti – 7 The Italian was one of the superb defensive trio. Held his ground against Teun Koopmeiners and was largely untroubled. Gleison Bremer – 7.5 A fantastic outing from the resolute Brazilian defender who bossed his area and had no formidable opponent in the absence of Gianluca Scamacca. Danilo – 7.5 The Juventus captain made a timely return from injury to guide his team towards triumph. Almost won every duel at the back and helped bring the ball forward. Andrea Cambiaso – 7.5 A splendid outing from the Italy international who was all over the pitch. Provided the assist for the opener with a clever pass and also created Vlahovic’s disallowed goal with a sublime cross while frustrating Ademola Lookman on Atalanta’s left flank. Weston McKennie – 6.5 ............ Hans Nicolussi Caviglia – 7 Despite starving for playing time this season, the young Regista filled in admirably for the suspended Manuel Locatelli. Pulled the strings in the middle of the park and did well in defense as well. Left his place for Miretti at the hour mark when he began to tire. Adrien Rabiot – 7 A fine display from the Frenchman who stamp his authority in midfield. Won possession back for Juventus on several occasions and posed a threat when joining the attacks. Switched into a deeper following Caviglia’s exit. Samuel Iling-Junior – 6 ............ Dusan Vlahovic – 8 The Serbian rose to the occasion by putting Juventus in the lead with his first chance of the match. Timed his run to perfection, kept Isak Hien on the wrong side and beat Marco Carnesecchi with his weaker right foot. Scored a clinical header in the second half but was ruled out for the closest offside call you’re likely to see. Federico Chiesa – 5.5 The Euro 2020 winner didn’t truly find his rhythm when on the ball, but worked extremely hard for the team. Substitutes Fabio Miretti – 6.5 ............ Kenan Yildiz – 5.5 Like Chiesa, the Turkish striker didn’t have a major impact in the final third. He didn’t see much of the ball and was at times hasty in possession.

Vlahovic the hero as Juventus ends trophy drought with Coppa Italia win Juventus won their first trophy in three seasons as a Dusan Vlahovic goal was enough to help them win the Coppa Italia against Atalanta. Juventus started the game with purpose and opened the scoring after just 4 minutes through Vlahovic. The Serbian’s goal was a fine finish from one of Juve’s best players this season, and it set the tone for the game. Atalanta began to look for an opening, but it was never found as Juventus defended brilliantly, with Gleison Bremer standing out once again. ............ Apart from that goal, neither team had a clear sight of the goal again as Juve defended deeply and searched for counter-attacking opportunities, while Atalanta struggled to break the Bianconeri down. ............ Three minutes later, Vlahovic believed he should have been awarded a penalty, but the referee was not interested, and the Serbian was cautioned for dissent. Atalanta then made a triple substitution to boost their efforts, and Max Allegri also brought on Fabio Miretti for Hans Nicolussi Caviglia. In the 69th minute, Allegri brought on Kenan Yildiz for Federico Chiesa and three minutes later, Juventus had the ball in the back of the net again through Vlahovic, but it was ruled out for offside. ............ Miretti then had a chance to send Juventus home, but he smashed his shot against the crossbar after beating Marco Carnesecchi. Juve was now looking to wind down the clock, and Bremer was yellow-carded for time-wasting. Atalanta had another chance to score, but Perin saved well. A foul occurred in the build-up to that move, and Allegri was shown a red card as he protested. Juve held on to their lead without their manager and won their first trophy in three seasons, claiming their 15th Coppa Italia trophy.

Beh ma tua madre mica la potevi querelare

C'é una differenza in euro fra arrivare terzi o quarti. Quindi Bologna-Juventus ha una certa importanza. Io parlo per me: Se io mi fossi comportato come Allegri che ha spaccato a calci del materiale dei fotografi e poi le minacce a Vaciago, mi vergognerei solo a farmi vedere in giro e comunque avrei chiesto scusa a tutti, anche a Giuntoli, una volta passata la furia. Ma Allegri non é una persona che chiede scusa. É troppo pieno di sé; non sa cos'é l'umiltá e l'empatia verso gli altri. La sua reazione nei confronti di Maresca e del var la capisco perché la Juventus é chiaramente presa di mira dalla classe arbitrale mediante la tecnologia. Ci sono delle cifre molto chiare in merito. Mi auguro per il nostro ormai ex-mister che ritrovi la serenitá dopo aver smaltito lo stress accumulato in questi ultimi tre anni.

E ci sono pure i testimoni che hanno sentito le parole del mister e lo hanno trattenuto per evitare una situazione tipo Cavalleria Rusticana.

Io penso che Allegri non sia nelle condizioni mentali per guidare la squadra in panchina. É possibile che lo esonerino entro i prossimi tre giorni. I dirigenti e gli avvocati della Juve stanno studiando la situazione. Si attendono notizie in merito.

Sul web ho letto che la societá stia valutando la possibilitá di esonerare Allegri senza aspettare la fine della stagione. Chi vivrá vedrá.

Se tu fossi Allegri avresti simpatia per Thiago Motta? Ma devi ragionare come Allegri che é un arrogante tipo "Lei non sa chi sono io".
