There is growing tension in the Juventus dressing room following their back-to-back defeats ‘to nil’ – first against Milan and then Maccabi Haifa last UEFA Champions League matchday. The Bianconeri risk falling to Europa League or worse, whereas they sit 8th in the Serie A table, having played nine league matches.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri is in the crosshairs of being sacked, with the Juventus squad reportedly accusing the tactician of not communicating sufficiently, according to Giovanni Capuano of Radio 24. There is also talk of the 55-year-old practicing outdated training session and for not having defined a clear game plan.
‼️ Gelo tra #Allegri e la squadra, quasi tutta la rosa non ha gradito la misura dl ritiro e ritiene il tecnico responsabile di non comunicare a sufficienza, di non avere un gioco definito e di praticare una preparazione fisica superata. Ieri non c'è stato confronto (#gds) pic.twitter.com/WnwHXUhhDa

Despite chief Andrea Agnelli siding by the experienced coach, support for him is dwindling in the Juventus locker room.
Results have arrived far and few for the Bianconeri who have won just four out of 13 matches across Serie A and UCL. There is growing speculation of Allegri being sacking before the January transfer window, with French outlet Sport.fr indicating a host of contenders to take his place, including Julen Lopetegui, Zinedine Zidane and Didier Deschamps.
?‼️ #Juventus, internal evaluations began weeks ago: a revolution in the management is expected in summer. The impressive name for the future is #DelPiero.
? To date, #Allegri is not in question. Obviously, if the results won't improve, the coach will be in jeopardy too. ?⚽ pic.twitter.com/lrNacE5bdZ
