Max Allegri does not believe the race for the Scudetto is over despite Juventus increasing their lead over Roma at the top of Serie A.

The Old Lady were 2-0 victors at Sassuolo this afternoon, while the Giallorossi were surprisingly beaten 3-2 by Sampdoria. 

The results mean that Juve are now four points clear of their nearest challengers, while they also boast a game in hand. However, the Bianconeri Coach insists there is still a long way to go in the season.

"Regardless of Roma's defeat, the season is still long," Allegri commented following victory against Eusebio Di Francesco's team. "The important thing for us today was to win, the team did well.

"In the second half the team was very good, it was important not to concede a goal and the boys did well."

Juventus again lined up in a 4-2-3-1 as they continue to move away from the three-at-the-back formation that has served them so well in years gone by. Former Milan boss Allegri, however, will not rule out a return to 3-5-2 in the future.

"The other systems of play will not be abandoned because they could be important cards for us."

Finally, Allegri was asked whether he would be signing a new contract to remain in Turin beyond 2018, when his current deal expires.

"The idea of moving forward (together) is there, but there isn't any problem. Maybe it could be for a long time, but that depends on me and the club."
