Aldo Spinelli drops bomb on Allegri’s future, explains why he’ll leave Juventus this summer With a positive pre-season and an opening-day routing of Udinese, the sounds calling for Max Allegri’s sacking have dwindled in recent days. ..... Nevertheless, former Livorno president Aldo Spinelli staunchly believes that this will be the final campaign for Allegri at Juventus. The tactician returned to Turin in 2021 and still has a contract until 2025. But according to the former Livorno patron, who happens to be a close friend of Max, the latter is seeking redemption before leaving the club on a high note. Spinelli explains that the 56-year-old will eventually take the most financially rewarding option and succumb to rich offers, possibly from the Saudi Pro League. “Allegri wants a redemption, then he will leave,” revealed the 83-year-old ......

The most interesting stats from Udinese vs Juventus: Allegri hits 250 Juventus started their Serie A campaign on the right foot, seeing off Udinese with three unanswered goals away from home. ..... The Bianconeri have now won seven of their last eight opening-day fixtures, scoring three goals or more on five occasions. Ironically, the only exception was a 2-2 draw in Udine a couple of years ago. Max Allegri has now reached a milestone, registering his 250th victory for Juventus in all competitions. He’s only the second manager to accomplish this feat since 1929/30. The legendary Giovanni Trapattoni is leading the charts with 319 wins. On another note, Dusan Vlahovic scored a goal and delivered an assist in the same match for the first time since February 2023 against Salernitana. ..... Finally, Udinese have now become Federico Chiesa’s favorite target along with Milan and Bologna. The Italian has now contributed with six goals against the Zebrette: Three goals and as many assists.

Juventus starlet Yildiz obeys unusual Allegri order Kenan Yildiz made his Serie A debut for Juventus last night, but after one very particular criticism from Max Allegri, he has obeyed his coach by getting a haircut. The 18-year-old has been exciting Bianconeri fans for quite some time with his performances for the Primavera youth team. Born and raised in Germany, but playing his international football at Under-21 level for Turkey, Yildiz came through the Bayern Munich academy before moving to Juve in the summer of 2022. He has already been promoted to the senior squad and made his debut as a substitute in last night’s 3-0 win away to Udinese. However, when Allegri commented on the performance in a press conference afterwards, he made a specific request. “He’s got to cut his hair tomorrow, because he touched his hair about a hundred times. Aside from that, he is a lad with a lot of quality.” ..... Read more -> https://football-italia.net/juventus-starlet-yildiz-obeys-unusual-allegri-order/

What Juventus and Allegri changed in first Serie A game of the season Juventus showed a different and more attacking attitude in their 3-0 win over Udinese on Sunday: so what has Massimiliano Allegri changed this season? The Bianconeri started off the new campaign on the right foot with a comfortable win in Friuli. Allegri’s men were more attacking-minded and dominated the first half at the Dacia Arena scoring three goals in the opening 45 minutes. Federico Chiesa opened the account at minute three and looked in scintillating form. The Italian played as a second striker, but often moved wide on the left flank allowing Andrea Cambiaso to cut inside from the same side. The ex-Bologna full-back was the only new face in Juventus’ starting XI compared to last season, alongside Timothy Weah, deployed on the opposite flank. Juventus’ approach was different from minute one. The Bianconeri scored the first goal after recovering the ball in the opponents’ half, which was quite uncommon to see over the last two years under Allegri. Fans and players, especially Chiesa, enjoyed the new approach. “It was a great performance and in the first half we were particularly intense, attacking them high up and that is what modern football is all about” ....... It was also proved by what Vlahovic told Chiesa after the Italian’s goal: “Don’t stop.’ Neither Chiesa nor his teammates did. Juventus’ new mentality has partially been inspired by Allegri’s new assistant Francesco Magnanelli who retired two years ago and joined the Bianconeri at the start of the season. The former Sassuolo midfielder was a player under Allegri at the beginning of his career at Sassuolo and also worked under Roberto De Zerbi, Maurizio Sarri and Stefano Pioli. Magnanelli spoke about De Zerbi’s influence on his career in an exclusive interview with Football Italia in 2020. Of course, some things still need to be fixed for the Old Lady. The second-half performance was quite similar to the ones of the past with the team sitting too deep and Wojciech Szczęsny often involved. However, the early signs were very promising especially because Allegri has put into practice some intriguing tactical changes. If the Bianconeri continue developing the new approach and keep Chiesa and Vlahovic fit, they can dream of ending their two-year title drought this term.

Inter confirmed as 2005-06 Serie A Champions following rejected Juventus appeal Inter have been reconfirmed as the official winners of the 2005-06 Serie A title following the rejection of an appeal from Juventus brought against the FIGC, CONI and the Nerazzurri. Juventus finished the 2005-06 season with a table-topping 91 points, but were disqualified and subsequently relegated to Serie B for their involvement in the Farsopoli scandal. As the team in second place at the time, Inter were elected as de-facto champions of the league, despite their 76-point finish. The decision was the responsibility of the then-commissioner of the Italian FA, Guido Rossi, although Juventus have since been attempting to appeal that ruling. However, according to ANSA, Juventus’ appeal against the FIGC, CONI and Inter has been rejected, meaning that the Nerazzurri will hold onto their 2005-06 title. ......

Allegri finds areas for improvement despite Juventus’ big 3-0 win at Udinese Coach's comments as Juve cruise to a big opening day win on the road. Early goals in a decisive first half made all the difference for Juventus as they cantered to a 3-0 lead away at Udinese, and then relied on goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to make some critical saves to preserve the clean sheet and secure the three points. As expected though, coach Massimiliano Allegri maintained an even keel in his post-match comments, finding some issues in his side’s performance. It is rare Juve have looked threatening on the left over the last couple of years, but Andrea Cambiaso and Federico Chiesa worked well together in the win. Did Allegri feel Chiesa did well in the winger role? On Cambiaso and his teammate on the other flank, Timothy Weah. Dusan Vlahovic’s celebration after scoring the second goal of the game seemed particularly emphatic given that he has been linked with a move away.

Juventus 3 - Udinese 0: Initial reaction and random observations Well, that certainly is one way to start a season! We’ve been fooled by Juventus scoring extremely early goals before. Don’t deny it — you’ve fell for it plenty of times before. That thought of the dam about to break, only for that one goal being the only goal that Juve ends up scoring. It’s the ultimate tease, but you just can’t help yourself from going there. Well, if you went there Sunday, it turned out to be something that was proved to be quite rewarding. Juventus got its first goal against Udinese less than two minutes into the first game of the 2023-24 season. They didn’t sit back and defend a lead for 80-something minutes. Instead, with Udinese very much not knowing what the heck just hit them with Federico Chiesa’s opening goal in the second minute, Juve only added to their lead. By the time Adrien Rabiot headed home Andrea Cambiaso’s peach of a cross from the left wing, it was 3-0 right before the half and things were quite enjoyable heading into the break. That’s how it ended, as Juventus marked this season’s opener with an even bigger — and better? — 3-0 win than we saw from them a year ago when they opened their season in style. It was a first-half showing that saw Juve play in a fashion that we saw maybe in small glimpses last season but never over an extended period of time. They were pressing the life out of Udinese, constantly putting a shook backline under pressure. They won the ball back quickly. They were direct on the counter and were dangerous in front of goal. It was an aggressive mindset that we haven’t always seen from Juventus the last couple of years. Just like that, within 20 minutes, Juve were up 2-0 with both of their big-name attackers on the scoresheet and celebrating with the traveling fans behind the goal. ..... RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Juventus finished with four shots on goal. Three of them were goals. I’d obviously like more shots on goal, but that success rate sure is a thing that Juventus are more than welcome to replicate going forward this season. ...... I gotta admit that seeing Chiesa buzzing around and popping up all over the place brought a smile to my face. This was Chiesa being the Chiesa of old and playing the kind of way that we know he can. It looks like the time off over the summer really did he some good to just reset mentally and focus on getting back to who he was before his knee injury. That finish on his goal was clinical, his combination with Cambiaso on Rabiot’s goal was nice as hell and just seeing him be a complete buzzsaw was the best of all. Let’s hope that he’s a man on a mission going forward because that would mean so much to this team. I think it’s safe to say that was a pretty good debut from Andrea Cambiaso. The dynamic he brings to the left wing will be fun to see develop over the coming weeks if he has indeed surpassed Filip Kostic for that spot. Plus, you know, that cross he put in was dynamite and will be replayed more than a few times in this house. ...... Speaking of Vlahovic, seeing that link-up between Dusan and Samuel Iling-Junior was quite nice. It was just barely offside, sure, but it’s those kinds of things that give you hope that things can be different for Vlahovic this year with simply more creativity out wide. (Not that Kostic isn’t creative, but he is very much a predictable option in which he’s going to try and do.) YILDIZ! YILDIZ! YILDIZ! YILDIZ! Wojciech Szczesny made a great double save. The second shot was stopped with his face. Like, his WHOLE FACE. He stayed in the game. I really don’t know how he did that. .......

Juve pummel Udinese to begin season with a convincing win The Bianconeri ripped their opposition apart in one of the most convincing wins in a long time. That was not what I expected. I was expecting the kind of grind that we’ve seen over the last two years. The heart-in-your-mouth-for-90-minutes type of game that we’ve basically been conditioned to expect over the last two years. I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw instead. What we saw was a massive change from the passive Juventus teams that have been the hallmark of Massimiliano Allegri’s second tenure at the club. Indeed, Juve pressed the crap out of Udinese for 45 minutes at the Dacia Arena on Sunday night, creating complete havoc for the hosts. They were in front before there were two minutes on the clock, and by the end of the half it was 3-0 — a scoreline that we barely ever saw over a full 90 a season ago. With the game safely put away, and likely in deference to the sweltering heat, the team went into cruise control in the second half. That led to Udinese getting a few more chances to score, but a combination of a defense that forced them into long-range shots, some bad finishing, and Wojciech Szczesny kept the clean sheet intact, and Juventus brought the 3-0 game home to start the season. ......
