Successful player, not a success coach
That’s it, that’s it! Juventus Turin sacked Andrea Pirlo. After less than a year, the term of office of the former world-class midfielder, who, as coach of the Italian record champions, is unfortunately not likely to receive a world-class certificate, ends.
Champions League at the last second
After nine championships in a row, Juve not only failed to expand the series to ten titles under Pirlo, he also almost missed making it into the Champions League. Only because SSC Napoli made a mistake on the last day of the match, Juve made it into the premier class.
Turin will be there with a new coach next season. Everything indicates that it will become an old acquaintance. Massimo Allegri, who was in charge of the line at Juve from 2014 to 2019, will in all likelihood take over again.
And even before the season starts, he has a very big task: convince Cristiano Ronaldo to stay. Because there are always rumors that CR7 could make the flutter in the summer. With an emotional post on Instagram, he tightened this when he again pointed out that he had now achieved all the goals he had set in Italy.
Allegri must therefore have a clarifying and, above all, convincing conversation with superstar Ronaldo as quickly as possible. And tell him that the two can achieve a goal together that Cristiano apparently does not even have on the slip: the title in the Champions League. Because least of all, Juve still has a chance despite the unsuccessful Pirlo period. (sho)
