Some Juventus fans may be calling for Max Allegri to be sacked after a dismal start to the Serie A season, but there are several reasons why that is not even a consideration for the club.
The Bianconeri are feeling the pressure following a 1-1 draw away to newly-promoted Venezia, which leaves them in sixth place and a long way off the top four.
Failure to secure a Champions League spot would make this a total disaster of a campaign for the Old Lady, not to mention financially as well as in terms of sporting results.
However, there are no suggestions that Allegri could be sacrificed at the Bianconeri altar, because his position is rock solid.
This is Allegri’s second stint at the club after 2014-19, when he was dismissed despite winning five consecutive Serie A titles and reaching the Champions League Final twice.
It is widely believed that decision was prompted by Fabio Paratici and Pavel Nedved, who convinced President Andrea Agnelli they needed a more exciting style of football.
That experiment failed, as while Maurizio Sarri won the Scudetto and Andrea Pirlo got the Coppa Italia, both coaches complained the players were simply not suited to this approach and reticent to adapt.
Agnelli seemed to realise that results were paramount and style not exactly something that has ever been in the Juventus DNA.
It was the President who recalled Allegri and signed him to a long-term contract that runs to June 2025.
That deal is worth a great deal of money in wages and sacking him would be financially very difficult to justify, especially this early into the contract.
So while some may be trying to get the #AllegriOut hashtag trending in Italy on Twitter, it would be an absolutely last resort course of action.
Sacking would be the worst mistake
We don’t have a real hitman and quality playmaker.
Dybala is getting injured time to time, and Morata and Kean aren’t gamechanger.
thats only a hashtag created by the Juventus fans who are jealous of other european teams who were successfull in winning the UCL. pitty fans. their brains are blocked, and can understand nothing about football. i dont understand how can you blame Allegri if you watch what happens on the pitch. You need to get rid of Berna, Keane, Morata, Bonucci, Sandro, and kulo. after you replace them, then start thinking about that hashtag if results are not good.
Allegri is not the one to blame. Leaving this winter/summer should be: Alex Sandro, Chiellini, Rugani, De Ligt, Rabiot, Ramsey, Arthur, Morata, Kean, Kulusevski. Major overhaul required.
The guy is a dinosaur, Angelli will have to live with the consequences of failing to qualify for the champions league…
I personally think the biggest problem for Juve has been the midfield, there is no creativity whatsoever. Even if we bring vlahovic or 10 like him. The midfield is not in sync, apart from locatteli I don’t see any other midfielder contributing much. Without good service I don’t think strikers could do much. If we also notice you find juve players most of the times don’t support each other, after the game wears on, a player will have a ball and he needs to do all by himself.
Another worrying thing and I couldn’t understand is why juve players are always injured?? Look at dybala look at chielini and look at ramsey, chielini played almost the whole of euros, which was more demanding, but didn’t have serious relapse, I think something wrong as well with the medical staff
We don’t have quality, players we have mid table is good. Forzajuve Take off De Ligt add Benta. To the list!
What kind of reasoning is this? Agnelli brought him back, Agnelli can sack him. Sacking Allegri and paying his wages until his contract runs out or he finds a new team might actually be more affordable than missing out on Champions League. And yes, Agnelli and Juventus care more about the results than playing beautiful football, but where are the results under Allegri so far?
Its clearly evident that basically with the same team as last season having Ronaldo out, Kean in ,the new only real reinforcement was Locatelli, it’s difficult to think we could aim top. There are several issues in today’s Juve, let me provide my view: 1) left and right flanks, where only Cuadtafo is worth something, Pellegrini needs time, middle field is the weakest ever, with no brain and only Locatelli is worth of Juve, attack Dybala ok, but like from glass. The next topic is Allegri, bucsuse of usage players out of position and insisting on his 442. There are all to blame, nevertheless the transfer policy last years was disaster
Sack Allegri no matter the cost!
He just don’t know how to use the players..He is still counting on his old style of football 4-4-2..juve has players already to play 4-3-3 like any top club
The problem is the management not the coach. Lets not pretend like this team was not incredibly lucky to qualify for the CL last year. Add losing Ronaldo and this team is garbage. You can sack Allegri and bring in Guardiola and this team will still be trash. The worst mistake Agnelli made was getting rid of Marotta. Now we’re back to post-calciopoli days with management absolutely clueless.
People saying to get rid of Kean.
? He’s only 21 Years Old.
If they sell him and when he starts scoring for his next club the same people will blast Juve for getting rid of him.
Why worry about the manager when the legal status of Juventus is already in danger?
