Maccabi Haifa’s unexpected defeat in the Champions League, in addition to certifying the Juventus crisis (already out of the fight for the championship and one step away from elimination in the European competition in October) seems to have created a deep rift between the club and its fans. By publicly apologizing and sprinkling your head with ashes, the confirmation of Massimiliano Allegri as the team’s technical guide live on TV by Andrea Agnelli appears to have gone against what most Juventus fans were clamoring for after the Piedmont team’s humiliating performance, the latest in a long series this season, as evidenced by the resounding boom of the #AllegriOut hashtag on Twitter before, during and after the match. in Israel. A decision on which not even the cousin of Juventus’ number one seems to agree and has been repeatedly indicated as his successor in the presidency of the club Lapo Elkann, who showed his disappointment with a cryptic post on social media.
Agnelli, in fact, publicly avoided the exemption of Massimiliano Allegri, who in turn excluded the possibility of presenting his resignation.. To try to reverse course, the first decision taken immediately is to send the players (indicated as the real culprits of this crisis) to retreat to Continassa until the next game with Turin (scheduled for next Saturday) and then measures will probably be taken. . at the level of the coaching staff to give more support to the coach. Although many, even within the company (it is no secret that Vice President Pavel Nedved would have already wanted to make a change in the bench), I do not agree with this choice, Juventus will continue with Allegri.
The question at this point is just one: up until? Andrea Agnelli himself responded in his speech to Sky’s microphones immediately after the humiliating knockout at Maccabi Haifa. Analyzing carefully the words of the president of Juventus after the apologies to the fans and the confirmation from Allegri indeed it seems that the date on which, barring sensational twists, the Livorno coach’s exemption will arrive has already been decided and which will not be the expiration of his contract (June 30, 2025) of 7 million euros net per season. Pressed on the issue by journalist Paolo Condò, by the way, Piedmont’s number one dropped a hint of when Allegri will be exonerated: “Juve do not change during the race. Juve are used to taking stock at the end of the year, if you want to think of a deadline, in quotes, think about it“in fact, Andrea Agnelli let it slip, revealing in fact that if there are no miraculous changes of course, the deadline for the Tuscany coach is set at the end of the season.
In light of this, it cannot be excluded that these statements are a clear message to Antonio Conte that his contract with Tottenham expires in June (which at the moment does not intend to renew) and that, according to several sources, would like to return to the Juventus bench and would be waiting for a sign from the board. A solution that would therefore make everyone happy with the bianconeri who would have loved (even if hated for a period) ex-captain on the bench that can bring back that “Juve mentality” that seems momentarily lost in the Juventus dressing room and Lecce instead, he would find the situation more pleasant for him, namely, a team in crisis to be relaunched where the leader might be.
