The handover at the helm of the Juventus bench became official. Thus ends the telenovela around the figure of the coach of the Old Lady of the next season: it will no longer be Andrea Pirlo, exonerated after only one year, but it will be up to Massimiliano Allegri, return horse after two years of stop. In the late morning the announcement of the exoneration of the former, which therefore remains contractually linked, barring an immediate new adventure, to the Bianconeri colors until 2022; in the early afternoon that of the engagement of the second anticipated by a couple of fun social clues connected to the Tuscan technical histrionic.
PIRLO, GOODBYE BITTER – Logical that Andrea Pirlo did not take very well what was the decision of Juventus and in detail of the president Agnelli. A year ago, on the eve of one of the most difficult seasons to carry out, the responsibility was given to the Brescia man without a minimum amount of experience accumulated in the profession. Ten months later, with a year brought to the bottom between ups and downs, the change of course. “When I was called by Juventus – Pirlo said – I never thought about the risk I was running, although it was quite evident. Respect for the colors of this shirt and the desire to get involved at the highest levels for the project that was proposed to me prevailed. If I were to go back I would make exactly the same choice. While aware of all the obstacles I encountered related to such a difficult period for everyone that it prevented me from planning my intentions and my style of play in the best possible way. But during which I still achieved the goals that I had been asked for. This adventure, despite an ending that I did not expect, made it even clearer what I wish my future was. It’s time to get back in the game and face new challenges. However, I want to thank the Juventus family and all those who have been close to me this season“. A bitter farewell, therefore, not hidden by the protagonist who evidently, once the objectives were achieved, expected a different treatment in the name of the project started.
ALLEGRI-IN – E for the third consecutive year Continassa changes course: first the three-year in Sarri stopped after one season, then the two-year in Pirlo stopped after ten months and finally the four-year one in Massimiliano Allegri. That was what Sarri had taken over and that, at the end of the fair, he was contractually far from the Bianconeri colors only in the year just ended. It is a homecoming for Allegri announced by the Juventus club with the opposite of the hashtag that, only two years ago, was a huge hit on social media: da #AllegriOut and #AllegriIn. The Livorno coach signed his relationship with Juve on Wednesday and then left immediately afterwards for his hometown where yesterday attended playing, and scoring, in a friendly match in the famous “gabion” in the memory of Armando Picchi who died 50 years ago. Home then: Livorno and Juventus. Club with which he signed a slightly lower contract than the first rumors: it will be about 7.5 million euros net plus bonuses for 4 years.
