Allegri sacking, it’s happening again at Juventus: bookmakers send odds for a bench swooping
After yesterday’s defeat against Monza in the league, Massimiliano Allegri’s position has become increasingly hot. Managing director Arrivabene’s words before the match seemed to be an armour plating for the coach, who takes an important salary and, he said of the Bianconeri manager, ‘has a long-term project to carry out’. But the one-nil with which Palladino’s team brought home the three points on their debut put everything back on the table a few hours later.
And what happened to Juventus a few days ago is happening again. A continuous drop in the odds on a possible exoneration. In fact, the experts at Sisal are convinced that anything can really happen in the course of these two weeks leading up to the return in the championship against Bologna.
Allegri’s sacking, odds plummet
Massimiliano Allegri
Last week the possible exoneration of Massimiliano Allegri was bet by the oddsmakers twelve times the stakes. Then came the home draw against Salernitana, which lowered the same odds to ten times the stakes. In the meantime, Juventus’ crisis became terrible and then the change in the bench suffered a further nosedive, being worth five times the stakes. Now, after the umpteenth defeat of the season against Monza, a possible exoneration of the Livorno coach – it would seem, in all this, there is Montero in the background – is offered at 2.75.
Risk big then Allegri. He’s risking a lot because he doesn’t even seem to be able to find a solution to his team’s current situation and yesterday, obviously, came the protest from the Bianconeri fans who, with a banner, also asked the club to clarify. Reversal on the way? Difficult, but now it no longer seems impossible.
