Following the elimination in the Europa League semis, Juventus will experience their second trophy-less campaign in a row. While other coaches would have quickly paid the price for that in the past, Massimiliano Allegri doesn’t appear at risk of getting the ax, SportMediaset informs.
The Bianconeri have the second-richest payroll in Serie A. The weird circumstances of this season, especially in the courtrooms, will likely keep the gaffer in the dugout. The hierarchy is more focused on hiring a new apical director than on finding a different boss.
Despite the club’s motto and their lack of success in the past two campaigns, the fact that Allegri isn’t in hot water is certified by the fact that he’s working for the future with the Juventus brass. The team is bracing for a point deduction that could see them excluded from all continental competitions.
While Zinedine Zidane was reported to have some interest in returning to his old stomping grounds, the only other manager concretely linked to the Old Lady has been Raffaele Palladino. Monza’s honorary president Paolo Berlusconi told Radio Radio Thursday (via Ansa).
“He should stay at Monza, even though the Bianconeri are after him. It’d be nice to stay no to them.”
The up-and-coming manager claimed he didn’t hear anything about it a few hours later.
Our Take on Juventus and Allegri
A hefty contract and the fact that there’s a lot going on beyond his control, and the team’s one, shouldn’t be valid enough reasons to confirm a gaffer whose playing style is ancient and lackluster. However, it seems that it is just what is going to happen. The club is extremely comfortable with him and was scarred by previous coaching changes.
