Despite a strong start to the season, the future of Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus hangs in the balance. His contract runs out in 2025. Top teams don’t usually start a season with a lame-duck coach. He won’t stay without an extension, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
He’s currently the highest-paid coach in the league along with José Mourinho. Bianconeri’s exec, Francesco Calvo, recently met with Antonio Conte in Vinovo, one of their training facilities. Their ex-gaffer hinted at a possible reunion in an interview.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Allegri isn’t comfortable with the new Juventus brass and how the club is run. He was severely criticized near the end of the past campaign, but he ultimately wasn’t axed because of his rich deal.
The boss wouldn’t have trouble finding a new landing spot, especially in Saudi Arabia, where Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr could soon seek a new gaffer. He has a strong relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. But he might ultimately take another sabbatical.
Our Take on Juventus and Allegri
Saying he wouldn’t stay with a short-term contract is like reinventing the wheel. Only Roma have done that recently, and it has been problematic. He might have beef with one of the new execs, but probably not Cristiano Giuntoli. He surely has a lot less power than in the past, hence the uneasiness. It’d be surprising if the Old Lady went with another super expensive boss rather than an up-and-comer if they were to replace him.
