Although Massimiliano Allegri has achieved similar results to Andrea Pirlo, Juventus won’t sack the Tuscan tactician as, according to Tuttosport, the club’s management sees a development in the team and more discipline inside the dressing room.
Last season, the former Maestro won two trophies (Coppa Italia and Supercoppa) but missed out on Juventus’ tenth successive Scudetto and was eliminated in the Champions League Round of 16 at the hands of Porto.
Allegri is getting the same results as his predecessor, except for the Supercoppa, which he lost against Inter in January.
Juventus are currently in the race for the top four in Serie A and can qualify for the Coppa Italia final after beating Fiorentina in the first leg semi-final in Florence 1-0. The coaches’ paths have been the same on paper, but according to Tuttosport, Juventus’ directors and President Andrea Agnelli have noticed substantial differences between Pirlo and Allegri.
Juventus have gained consistent results in Serie A this term after a tough start to the season and the club’s executives are seeing a development that they hadn’t noticed last season under Pirlo.
The Serie A giants remained unbeaten for 16 games before their home loss to Inter two weeks ago and are the team that collected the most points so far in 2022. During the last campaign, Juventus had too many highs and lows, claim the report, with the Bianconeri never getting enough consistency.
Juventus also wanted to restore discipline inside the dressing room, something that they partially lacked last term. For all these reasons, the Bianconeri won’t sack the Tuscan tactician at the end of the campaign, even if he won’t get better results than his predecessor.
It may be worth adding that last summer, Allegri signed a €7m-a-year for the next four seasons, so sacking him would not exactly be the most sustainable option for the club.
