Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus adventure is at an end. After the crazy night in Rome, in which the coach was a negative protagonist between strip-tease, expulsion, controversy with sporting director Giuntoli, attack on the director of Tuttosport and destruction of a set of lights in the locker room after winning the Italian Cup, Juventus is considering immediate dismissal. Evidently a red line has been crossed in terms of behavior and style: reflections are underway and it is unlikely that there will be official communications today, but the possibility of not seeing Allegri on the Juventus bench on Monday in Bologna is concrete. Not only for the risk of disqualification, given everything that has happened, the sports judge could also stop him in the championship, but for the decision to rely on another coach for the last two days of Serie A. Paolo Montero, Juventus star, would have already been alerted and current coach of the Juventus Primavera.
Juventus has been thinking about a change of coach for some time, given that there is more than one agreement with Thiago Motta who brought Bologna to the Champions League. The idea was to finish the season with Allegri and then make the revolution in the summer: the conquest of the Italian Cup foreshadowed this sweet ending, but what happened during and after Atalanta-Juventus will change the plans. The possibility of dismissal for just cause is not ruled out either, given Allegri’s behavior with referees, club managers, journalists and a federal prosecutor. The Juventus club didn’t appreciate it, also because Juventus’ style is of a completely different type, and the company’s lawyers would also be at work for any evaluation.
The Italian Cup final was in fact marked by the show of a very nervous Massimiliano Allegri, sent off in added time after taking off his jacket and throwing it to the ground and then insults the fourth man. The epilogue of the evening, in the conference room of the Olimpico, was equally electric: the director of Tuttosport, Guido Vaciago, denounced that the coach from Livorno threatened him: «I know where to come and get you. I’ll come and tear off both your ears”, Allegri allegedly told him, jerking him and waving a finger under his nose, “director of m…, write the truth in your newspaper, not what society tells you! Stop playing hustlers with society.”
In the sights of the Juventus coach, which the conquest of the Italian Cup was evidently not enough to appease, the Juventus sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, was apparently also finished. From the TV images, in fact, he seemed to make a dramatic gesture to distance the sporting director from the group that was celebrating the success on the pitch, before Gatti tried to reassure him. Even though Allegri himself later downplayed it: “Absolutely nothing happened because I was celebrating with the team and the Curva, I absolutely didn’t say anything to anyone, I respect the club a lot, Juventus is about winning and the rest doesn’t count for anything.” .
