Allegri will likely leave Juventus at the end of this season and now aims to win the Italian Cup and qualify the team for the next Champions League. These are goals he can still achieve, but they might not be enough to save his job. However, journalist Carlo Pellegatti says he will not struggle to find a new one. He said: “Allegri is convinced that one minute after his possible farewell to Juventus he will have a queue at the door. He thinks he won’t stay still for even a year.” ............

The 41-year-old made history this season by guiding Bologna towards the Champions League for the first time ever. Nevertheless, the Italo-Brazilian could be heading towards the exit door, as his contract with the Rossoblu expires at the end of the season. Moreover, the Bianconeri are keen to appoint Motta as a replacement for Allegri whose cycle has obviously reached its expiry as evidenced by the club’s disastrous run since February. ............ Cristiano Giuntoli has thus prepared a two-year contract for the Bologna coach with an option for a third season. The former Inter and PSG midfielder would earn 3.5 million euros as net wages per year if he chooses to accept the offer. ............

The Bianconeri are increasingly likely to part ways with Max Allegri at the end of the season, even though his contract is valid for another year. As for Motta, his contract with the Rossoblu will expire in June, leaving him free to join a new club this summer. But everyone at Bologna is desperate to maintain Motta, starting from the club’s owner Joey Saputo, all the way down to the players. ............ Saputo will reportedly try to lock down the tactician with a new contract while offering him a pay raise, various bonuses and more power on the transfer market to avoid a similar scenario from last summer when the management rejected the coach’s requests. Moreover, the club’s historic qualification for the Champions League could be an additional incentive for Motta to stay. ............

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.

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.

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.

For weeks, Allegri had lost the club’s trust as his team struggled to win and consistently laboured against opponents they were expected to defeat easily. Since his return to the Allianz Stadium in 2021, there has been no significant improvement in the team’s performance. ............ Reports earlier today suggested that this morning’s training session would be his last at the club, and he would be fired. Those rumours have proven true, as he has now been dismissed with immediate effect, according to Fabrizio Romano. Allegri’s return to Juventus was a gamble that failed to pay off, and both parties will likely see this as the right decision. Several managers have been linked with the position, but the Bianconeri are expected to appoint Thiago Motta as their next manager, following his impressive work at Bologna. ............

Although it had been evident for some time that Allegri would leave the club at the end of the season, Juventus initially seemed inclined to wait until the campaign concluded. In recent weeks, Allegri felt increasingly isolated at the club, especially after falling out with Cristiano Giuntoli. ............ The club wrote on its website: “Juventus announces that it has relieved Massimiliano Allegri of his position as head coach of the men’s first team. “The exoneration follows certain behaviours during and after the Coppa Italia final that the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and the behaviour that those who represent it should have. “It ends a period of collaboration, which began in 2014, restarted in 2021 and ended, after the previous three seasons together, with the Italian Cup final. “The club wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future endeavours.‘ ............

The Bianconeri initially intended for Allegri to stay until the end of the campaign and then relieve him of his duties. ............ He managed to lead the team to a 1-0 victory in the Coppa Italia final against Atalanta. However, near the end of the game, he was overcome by anger, possibly as a form of relief. Additionally, Allegri confronted a journalist after the game, and his actions following the Coppa Italia win led Juventus to sack him earlier than planned. Allegri has now become just the third manager that Juventus has sacked midseason in the last 50 years.

Sky Italia state that during his stint at the club, Allegri is the first manager in history who has picked up over 1000 points in the Serie A. He has a total of 1012 points, which is just better than Luciano Spalletti’s record at 996. In this stint, Allegri also became the second-best manager when it comes to matches managed for the Old Lady and he is now only behind Giovanni Trapattoni, who has managed 596 games. Trapattoni is also the only manager in Juve history to have more wins than Allegri. Allegri won 202 games for the club and he is one of the four coaches to have won the most matches with a single team in the five major European leagues. The other managers are Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Diego Simeone.

Juventus dismissed Allegri after he won just one trophy in three seasons. Although the club had planned for him to remain until the end of the season, his outburst following the Coppa Italia victory led to his early departure. ............ Speaking on Allegri’s outburst, Capello said: “The truth is that his career speaks for him, Allegri is someone who deserves respect. His reaction at the end of the match surprised me because it was clearly not a simple competitive fit, but he was hiding something deeper.

Their strained relationship had been evident for weeks, if not months. When the Coppa Italia final took place, the disagreements between Allegri and Giuntoli were clear. This discord was highlighted by Giuntoli’s absence from Juve’s celebration after winning the Italian Cup. Allegri’s visible frustration at the end of the game, which ultimately led to his dismissal, was a significant indicator of the underlying issues. ............ He explained: “The argument with sporting director Giuntoli was so blatant as to make it clear that there are things that we don’t know, otherwise it is clear that he would not have reacted like this. I don’t understand why they don’t say the truth. At these levels you can’t see shows like that, a coach who doesn’t behave well and a manager who can’t celebrate with the team.” ............

Socrates 8,346 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 133,320 posts Posted May 18 Thiago Motta has received a three-year contract offer from Juventus The wheels are starting to be put in motion, it appears. Now that Juventus officially have a managerial opening a few weeks earlier than pretty much everybody expected, the wheels appear to be starting to be put in motion for the guy everybody expects to be Max Allegri’s full-time replacement. Yes, even though he is still technically under contract with another club. According to reports out of Italy over the last 24 hours, Juventus have officially offered Bologna manager Thiago Motta a three-year contract through 2027 to become their new head coach. Previous reports said that the contract could be a two-year deal with an option for a third, but SportItalia’s Alfredo Pedulla as well as Fabrizio Romano have both said the third year of the contract is very much a guaranteed one, with Motta being offered a salary in the neighborhood of €3.5 million a season. Motta, who has reportedly been Juve chief Cristiano Giuntoli’s top choice to replace Allegri for months now, has refused to discuss a new contract with Bologna despite the club insisting on opening talks. That has only fueled the speculation that he is going to be on the move once the season comes to an end despite how well Bologna’s season has played out. ............ With Allegri’s dismissal on Friday, you have to believe a lot of the focus over the next couple of days will be about Motta and how soon Juventus can get a deal done once the season comes to a close next weekend. Juve, who travel face Motta and Bologna on Monday in a meeting of third place against fourth place, have clinched their spot in next season’s Champions League, thus deeming the last two games of the 2023-24 campaign rather meaningless other than final positioning in the Serie A table. Motta’s work at Bologna has been the feel-good story of the season, helping the club qualify for a European competition for the first time in 60 years. Bologna are currently level on 67 points with Juventus, but are ahead of the Bianconeri in third place thanks to goal differential. ............
