Beppe Marotta confirmed Max Allegri’s contract renewal is “a formality” and this Juventus is “just as strong” as the pre-Calciopoli side.
The Bianconeri won their fifth consecutive Serie A title on Monday, thanks to Napoli’s 1-0 defeat at Roma.
“Our march was extraordinary and credit goes above all to the team and the Coach,” Marotta told Sportitalia.
“It goes without saying Allegri will continue with us, as the contract renewal is a formality that will be finalised as soon as possible.

“Our march was extraordinary and credit goes above all to the team and the Coach,” Marotta told Sportitalia.
“It goes without saying Allegri will continue with us, as the contract renewal is a formality that will be finalised as soon as possible.
“For now we’ve allowed the team a few days of rest, but by next week there will be the signature.
“After the defeat to Sassuolo (on October 28) there was a turning point, in part also thanks to certain players recovering from injury. From that moment on, we put together 24 wins and a draw.
“We were aware of initial difficulties and also that we could make up for them. We didn’t think we could win the Scudetto with three rounds to spare, but optimism did reign consistently.”
There have been debates around whether this is the strongest Juve of all time, which ties into the issue of how many Serie A titles the club actually won.
The Bianconeri – and Gigi Buffon – made it clear they consider it to be 34, including the two stripped in the Calciopoli trial of 2006.
“Many years have passed, so it’s difficult to make comparisons,” added Marotta. “That Juve was as strong as this one. The club always showed it wanted victory and it’s not a coincidence Juve have won five consecutive Scudetti.”
Inter–Udinese made history as the first Serie A match without any Italian players in the starting 22.
“An Italian representation is fundamental. We have a core of Italian players who realise full well what it means to visit the smaller teams and interpret the game in the right way. We must find the best youngsters in circulation on the market to create the Italian core for the future too.”
