Stefano Pioli insists his colleague Massimiliano Allegri is a ‘great coach’ and underlines that ‘all things’ in football are exaggerated, ‘whether it is compliment or criticism.’
Pioli was asked his thoughts on the Juventus situation during a press conference on Friday.
The Serie A giants are set to sack their coach before the final two games of the campaign. Allegri was last sacked before the end of the season at Milan in January 2014.
“It’s always hard to judge from afar. Allegri has won a lot, he’s a great coach,” said Pioli.
“We know that in this role, we have to manage certain kinds of expectations and pressures. All things in our environment are exaggerated, whether it is compliment or criticism.”
