Allegri doubts grow as Juventus risk losing out on Champions League

 

 

Juventus’ loss to Lazio has only further increased the doubts surrounding coach Massimiliano Allegri as their Champions League spot starts to look uncertain.

 

The Bianconeri have now managed to secure just seven points in their last nine Serie A games, picking up a single win since the end of January. Only Lecce, Sassuolo, Frosinone and Salernitana have done worse than Allegri’s side in the last two months. .............

 

Whilst the Bianconeri haven’t made any decisions yet, the next six weeks will be vital for the coach and the Old Lady. Failing to secure a top four finish would all but spell disaster for the Italian tactician.

Three possible Allegri replacements at Juventus revealed

 

 

Tuttosport newspaper reports Thiago Motta is the leading candidate to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus in 2024-25, but Massimo Brambilla or club legend Paolo Montero could be appointed as interim coach if the Livorno-born tactician is sacked before the end of the season.

 

Allegri is under pressure at the Allianz Stadium as the Bianconeri won just one match from the last nine. They still sit third in the Serie A table, but Bologna are just two points below the Old Lady and Roma and Atalanta are getting closer to a Champions League placement.

Former Juventus coach doubts Allegri’s credentials as a manager

 

 

Max Allegri, once hailed as one of the premier managers in the world during his initial tenure at Juventus, is currently facing a significant downturn in his managerial career. .............

 

 

Amidst a crisis of confidence within the team, Allegri appears to be struggling to find solutions to their problems. As doubts about his managerial abilities intensify, there is a growing sentiment among observers that Allegri may not be the right person for the job.

 

With Juventus enduring a period of turmoil, calls for Allegri’s replacement are becoming increasingly vocal, with many advocating for swift action from the club’s management.

 

Speaking about the former AC Milan coach, ex-Juve manager Luigi Maifredi said:

 

“The impression is that there is no longer the security of the great team, there is the insecurity of those who know they are not competitive for one way or another. This makes it difficult to play the game and application on the pitch then becomes almost absent. A good chat should be had in which he understands that he should modernize. The impression is that he has remained stuck with Buffon, Barzagli, Chiellini and Pirlo, but those times are now gone. The Juventus coach has proven to be a magnificent manager of excellent players, but he has not managed to demonstrate that he is a great coach.” .............

Fabrizio Ravanelli admits Conte can rebuild Juventus but it will take time

 

 

Former Juventus striker Fabrizio Ravanelli believes that Antonio Conte has proven his ability to rebuild a team and could potentially do so for Juventus.

 

The Bianconeri find themselves in need of a rebuild after experiencing a downturn in form over the past two seasons. While Max Allegri’s side remains one of the top teams in Serie A, their performances have been underwhelming in recent months.

 

Despite the possibility of securing a Champions League place by the end of the season, Allegri’s future at the club remains uncertain. Juventus has been considering various candidates for the managerial role, including Thiago Motta. However, one potential appointment that Juventus could make is bringing Antonio Conte back to the club. .............

 

“Antonio was good at rebuilding at Juventus, at Inter but also in England , they know that he was a flag for Juventus and they would go for Conte because they are sure of his work culture and everything else but at the basis of everything there must be a project because you don’t solve all the problems by simply hiring a new coach, you need a complete job and it takes time because to rebuild a team by changing the coach it doesn’t return to winning. It takes time, it takes those players who can suit Juventus.”  .............

What Giuntoli said about Allegri

‘Allegri will no longer be Juventus coach’, Caressa suggests

 

 

Respected journalist Fabio Caressa suggested that Massimiliano Allegri ‘will no longer be the Juventus coach’ beyond this season, providing an update on his future.

 

The 56-year-old Italian tactician has come under increasing pressure during his second spell in the Piedmont capital, and things reached a new level this season. After putting up a strong fight with Inter in the early stages of the title race, things began to fall off in the second half.

 

Juventus have now managed just two wins in their last 11 Serie A matches, a run that has seen opinion on Allegri reach a consensus regarding his dismissal in the summer. One of the leading candidates to replace him is Bologna’s Thiago Motta, reports suggest. .............

Allegri future

Speaking to Sky Calcio Club via TMW, Caressa first discussed the letter sent by John Elkann to Juventus shareholders last week.

 

“The most important news of the week, beyond the 0-0 in the derby, was the letter that John Elkann wrote to the shareholders. There is a very important passage in which the team is given to Cristiano Giuntoli. .............

 

 

The famous Italian journalist then provided an update on the future of Allegri.

 

“Allegri hasn’t been called by anyone yet, he has a good relationship with Elkann who recognizes him for having carried the team through a very difficult moment, but he hasn’t been contacted to tell him if he’ll be staying or going yet.

 

“He feels a bit alone and abandoned but the feeling is that he will no longer be the Juventus coach next year.”

Juventus manager Allegri lands on Napoli shortlist

 

 

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly emerged as a target for Napoli who are searching for a new manager.

 

The 56-year-old still has another year left on his contract with the Bianconeri. However, the two parties could opt to part ways at the end of the season, with the management seeking a fresh start with a more progressive manager.

 

Bologna boss Thiago Motta has emerged as the favorite candidate for the role.

 

So Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has Allegri on his coach shortlist. .............

 

The Partenopei have already an agreement in principle with Juventus sporting Giovanni Manna who will vacate his post in Turin at the end of the season and head south. The 35-year-old could thus sponsor Allegri’s move.

 

As for Juventus, they’re reportedly willing to offer a hand to make the operation feasible by covering half of the manager’s salary for the remaining year on his contract.

Juventus considering Antonio Conte as Massimiliano Allegri replacement

 

Juventus are considering bringing Antonio Conte back to the dugout as a replacement for Massimiliano Allegri in the summer.

According to Fichajes, Juventus are drawing up a brief shortlist for potential Massimiliano Allegri replacements ahead of the summer. The list features former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, with the club ready to take the next steps to determine the appointment.

Antonio Conte to replace Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus?

Many years ago, Antonio Conte left Juventus on the back of unprecedented domestic success amid rumours of a rift with the upper management. Whether the rift has been resolved over the years remains the question. But recent links of a return to Turin may suggest that they have solved their differences.

 

The former Chelsea and Tottenham manager has been out of a job since leaving the latter last year and visibly took a big break from football. He has been in the news lately, amid links with Manchester United, Bayern Munich and the Napoli job ahead of the summer, with Juventus now heavily involved in bringing him back. ............

Thiago Motta also considered for the Juventus job

Conte is not alone on the Juventus shortlist to replace Allegri ahead of the summer. Current Bologna boss Thiago Motta is a big name, and for a few weeks now, he has been considered the favourite to replace the current Juventus boss. ............

Elkann entrusts Giuntoli in deciding Allegri’s fate at Juventus

 

 

Juventus majority owner John Elkann has reportedly placed his full trust in Cristiano Guintoli when it comes to deciding the identity of the club’s head coach.

 

The Bianconeri appointed the 52-year-old as Football Director last summer, placing him as the head of the club’s sporting department.

 

While the former Carpi and Napoli director has been relatively quiet since his arrival in Turin, he is widely expected to ring some changes in the summer.

 

Nevertheless, Giuntoli irked the club’s supporters with his statements on Friday, suggesting that the club is still planning for the future with under-fire manager Max Allegri. ............

 

The management as well as Allegri can sense the need for a change, especially amidst the recent disappointing results and hollow displays.

 

Therefore, Elkann won’t be vetoing any decision Giuntoli makes on this front. On the contrary, he’ll give his full support to the director’s choice.

 

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio had also confirmed that Juventus will likely opt for a change in the summer, with Thiago Motta emerging as the most likely candidate to replace Allegri.

The 56-year-old addressed the press on the eve of his side’s encounter against Lazio in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. ............

“The most important thing for us today, however, is to achieve our objectives.

 

“We have been working hard for it, and tomorrow will be a beautiful and important match to play in order to achieve these goals.”

“I don’t find anything attractive” Pundit criticises Juventus playing style

 

 

Former Premier League star Nigel Reo-Coker has blasted Juventus for their uninteresting style of play under Max Allegri.

 

The Bianconeri are not the most exciting team to watch under their current manager, who prioritises winning over playing attractive football.

 

Juve has been the biggest club in Italian football for decades, but they are currently not living up to that reputation, which might cost Allegri his job. ............

 

He said, while on punditry duty on CBS Sport Golazo:

 

“It’s embarrassing to watch. You see her play and you think… we’re in the It’s not true that the result is the only thing that matters, there is also an element of style and satisfaction that cannot be overlooked when we think about a team’s play. 

 

“We have seen managers fired by Real Madrid despite having won the League or the Champions League. And Juve is a club where there has always been a winning mentality. I don’t find anything attractive or interesting about watching them play just like Inter are.” ............

Allegri will not resign or give up some of his wages to leave Juventus

 

 

Max Allegri is expected to leave Juventus at the end of this season, even though the Bianconeri have continued to publicly back him.

 

The manager is struggling to get results from the Juventus players, which is why the club is expected to replace him at the end of the season.

 

However, Allegri still has a year left on his current deal, which is worth around 20 million euros to Juventus.

 

This means that if he leaves in the summer, the club will have to pay that amount to terminate his contract.

 

While some managers might resign under such conditions or agree to take pay cuts to facilitate their departure, Allegri will not resign, nor will he accept a pay cut to leave Juventus. ............

Bologna remains determined to keep Thiago Motta as their manager, even as Juventus circles the former Italy midfielder.
