Juventus football market, Allegri reversal: Juventus fans have not taken it well. Here’s what’s happening inside the Juventus club
The words after the match against Udinese hinted at an almost certain farewell. Massimiliano Allegri at the microphones of Sky appeared tired, exhausted, almost eager to go home and end his experience in bianconero
He certainly never thought about resigning, especially after such a year where, the Livorno-born coach had to do something more than coach. Without getting into mechanisms linked to psychology – even if, with a group destroyed by penalisations, the mental work was certainly important – after the resignation of the entire board of directors, the Livornese had to act as manager as well. Certainly the sporting results and, above all, the game, latent in the parts of the Continassa, have suffered, but in these cases it is right to evaluate everything. Obviously, however, after the last match of the championship, the farewell seemed almost a foregone conclusion, so much so that yesterday the bookmakers’ odds gave his stay in Turin next year at two times the stakes, with Tudor, who left Marseille, in pole position for the succession. But in the space of 24 hours and not even everything has really changed
Juventus football market, Allegri’s fee collapses
A resounding collapse in Allegri’s odds, which are now given at 1.35 times the stakes. Yes, that’s right, the coach from Livorno is now almost certain to remain in the saddle next year. There would be no doubt for the bookmakers, who see it that way now, tempted perhaps by what is the coach’s salary and the contract that is still in place for another two seasons.
Juventus (Lapresse)
And the Juve fans, of course, did not take it well. Allegri is being blamed for a season that started badly and ended worse, with an early elimination from the Champions League and that only winning the Europa League could have saved. But it was Sevilla who went ahead and then won the trophy. In short, it all came crashing down.
