Allegri's Future at Juventus

00:00:15
Speaker
Okay, so Juve, their difficult season continues. I'm curious to hear what you guys think because now is really when we are starting to see a lot more people

Criticism of Allegri's Performance

00:00:25
Speaker
The following is a clip from this week's Italian football podcast.
00:00:25
Speaker
get on board with the idea of Allegri being sacked. Do you guys think that's warranted or is it still too early to be having that discussion?
00:00:34
Speaker
Well, if it was anyone else other than Allegri, he would and should be sacked. He's a disaster. Six wins in 14 games, only 18 goals. He's a complete dinosaur, tactically. He's playing Mike Bassett football, 4-4-2, 4-4-2. There's zero signs of improvement.

00:00:51
Speaker
The problem is that his contract is around 35 million euros net and Juventus just can't afford to sack him.
00:00:58
Speaker
No, they can't. They can't afford to sack him. And that's why I think it's a moot point discussion.

Is Sacking Allegri Premature?

00:01:03
Speaker
But above all that, I do think that he would be premature to sack him. He's not going to win the... Juventus are going to win the Serie A this season, but I do think that he's good enough to get Juventus to finish in the top four this season. I wouldn't give up on that quite just yet.
