Allegri towards exemption? Outside the Champions League, it would be an economic and sporting disaster for Juve
Although Juventus have the chance to qualify for the next round of Champions League well ahead, beating him Zenith Tuesday night at the Stadium, Andrea Agnelli and the whole club are worried about next year.
In the championship the team of Massimiliano Allegri he is only ninth, with just 15 points, at -16 from the leading pair formed by Milan and Napoli. If the Scudetto is now to be forgotten, as the coach himself admitted, even qualification for the next Champions League is anything but easy.
For Juve it would be a tremendous blow, both on a sporting and an economic level. La Vecchia Signora has participated continuously in the top European competition since the 2012/13 season, after the first Scudetto in Antonio Conte’s cycle.
With Allegri he even came close to success, in the two finals lost in 2015 and 2017, but the disappointment of not entering the tournament would be even more burning. Not only for the fans, but also for the managers: the Champions League guarantees revenues that no one can give up, especially a club like Juve for which it has recently been capitalized by well 400 million euros.
Not entering the Champions League would mean losing at least 50, with serious repercussions on the possibility of being competitive again in a short time. For this reason, despite the 9 million a year contract that binds the club to Allegri for four seasons, Turin is seriously thinking about the possibility of a change in the race to save what can be saved and groped for a desperate comeback in the standings.
Who will take Allegri’s place? The names in the notebook of Agnelli, Nedved and Cherubini are many: from Del Piero to Zidane, from Gattuso to Di Francesco. Click here to read them all
