Massimiliano Allegri was asked whether he would stay at Juventus for sure next season, but he answered with a word salad (via La Repubblica).
“I’m under contract until 2025, and I consider myself privileged. Only a few coaches have been able to spend seven years at Juventus, and I’m among them. Then, in life, you go through sticky patches, and you have to tackle them with a thick skin and have clear ideas while planning the future.”
“I’m a corporate man, and my task is to add value to the players. Right now, we have to try finishing in second place and reach the finals in the two cups. There’s a month and a half left in the season. We have to return to winnings ways. Then I don’t know what will happen next season. In the meantime, we got good results at the youth level, we are a cutting-edge team and a model there.”
Our Take on Allegri
It will be interesting to see whether he’ll retract these words soon, but they did cast a little shadow on his future, which is surprising considering his wealthy contract and the fact that the owner John Elkann entrusted him during the storm.
On the other hand, since the Bianconeri will most likely hire a new chief of football, and the links to Napoli’s Cristiano Giuntoli continue to linger despite his statements, the coach is always at risk when there’s a change at the top. After all, Andrea Agnelli was his biggest supporter. It’ll take some time, but the Old Lady are headed for a cup-less season. Rather than keeping up the façade, they should hire an up-and-coming gaffer and embark on a serious rebuild.
