According to Il Corriere della Sera, some Juventus players are not happy with the management of coach Massimiliano Allegri and one of them has admitted the team is ‘physically broken’ while Paolo Bianco, one of the coach’s assistants, will leave the club at the end of the season.
Juventus have lost three Serie A games in a row and only scored two goals in the last five games across all competitions, facing Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Inter on Wednesday.
The last time Juventus lost three consecutive league matches was in 2010 under Luigi Delneri.
Il Corriere della Sera reports that some Bianconeri players are losing trust in the Livorno-born coach, who has two more years left in his contract at the Allianz Stadium.
“Physically, we are broken,” one player, who hasn’t been named, reportedly said on Wednesday after a 1-0 loss against Inter.
“By changing line-up every time, we struggle to have a playing style,” he continued.
As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri will lose one of his assistants at the end of the season. Paolo Bianco will in fact rescind his contract with the Serie A giants, hoping to get a job in Serie B or Serie C, starting his career as a head coach.
Bianco, a former assistant of Robert De Zerbi, joined Juventus last summer, signing a contract until June 2024.
