Allegri wanted him at all costs this summer, even thinking of resigning if he didn’t arrive. Instead his failure to land in Turin was a deal breaker for Juventus.
It’s not an easy moment for Massimiliano Allegri, and after all it wouldn’t be so wrong to say that we are facing the most difficult moment he’s going through. the coach from Livorno since he started coaching at high levels.
It was seen clearly in the spat he started with the sports journalist Teotino from the Sky studios, called to comment on the Bianconeri’s draw against Genoa after the match. In fact, rarely have we seen Allegri so nervous and defensive, and the feeling is that the Tuscan coach himself is now aware that his adventure with Juventus has come to an end.
Firstly, because it is the results that condemn him. In fact, having reached the third year of his technical management, no improvements can be seen in the team who continues to collapse mentally in the decisive moments of the championshipand that he is unable to have a game proposal capable of enhancing his attackers.
Without considering the increasingly ambiguous declarations of Giuntoli and the owners regarding his hypothetical contract renewal, which a few weeks ago led the same agent of Allegri to attack the new Juventus management head-on, explaining that with “this corporate structure anything can happen”.

It is clear, however, that faced with three such disappointing years, the blame certainly cannot all lie with the Tuscan coach. One also wonders whether certain choices in the transfer market that Allegri considered crucial to making the team competitive again were then accepted by the management.
Because the impression is that the new sporting course traced by Cristiano Giuntoli no longer involves the purchase of already established and experienced champions, as Allegri would have requested on several occasions. It is no secret, for example, that the Livorno coach did everything in the last summer transfer market to be able to have Lukaku in his squad, an attacker who
Allegri has been an admirer for unsuspecting times and believes he is perfect for his tactical idea.
Lukaku out again, more and more injuries for the Belgian
In the end, as we know, Lukaku went to Roma, and despite a very positive season in terms of goals and statisticsone could perhaps say with hindsight that Juventus were lucky not to close the deal for the Belgian.
And this is because Big Rom has suffered too many injuries since the start of the season. Especially now that Lukaku got injured again during training with Belgium, his national team. Furthermore, we are talking about a footballer who has recently turned 30, and who perhaps is no longer starting to have as strong a physique as before.
