Beyond Giuntoli’s public denials, which are also causing the Juventus manager to “lose points” in the ratings of many fans, Juve is concretely thinking about the future without Allegri. There are many reasons for reflection for the Old Lady, the main one relating to the team’s chronic playing difficulties, a characteristic that Allegri’s Juventus has practically always carried with them, which has become no longer tolerable after the sudden drop in performance in the second round .
Juve, negotiations with Allegri: there is no agreement on severance pay
Whatever Giuntoli says, therefore, the club and the coach have already started discussions to seek an agreement. Juventus’ intention is to release the coach, still under contract until June 2025, by giving him a severance package. A sort of transaction to close the agreement early and immediately allow Allegri to find a new bench. But the trainer from Livorno has made it known that he is not interested in this type of solution. He doesn’t want severance pay. He asks for his salary in its entirety. She suits him.
How much does Allegri and his staff cost? Agnelli’s last “gift”.
For Juventus it’s a tough nut to crack, given that Allegri earns seven million euros net per season, almost thirteen million gross. And if we also consider the emoluments to his staff, starting with Deputy Landucci and the entire string of collaborators, we arrive at around twenty million to keep in the budget to keep a sacked coach and his team on the payroll. After all, this is one of Andrea Agnelli’s last “gifts” to the disastrous finances of the Juventus club: it was the former president who strongly wanted his return in the summer of 2021, after the Pirlo period, who secured him with a four-year contract as a Premier League manager.
Max at Juve: decent results but zero titles… and play
Not that Allegri failed from a sporting and above all economic point of view, on the contrary. In 2021-22 he qualified for the Champions Leaguein 2022-23 he would have finished in fourth place without the penalty and subsequent disqualification from the cups. This year he is very close to reaching the “minimum” objective of the return to the most prestigious cup. Of course, there is the “zero qualifications” item which, however, could be canceled by a success in the Italian Cup final with Atalanta. But above all there is the “zero game” rumor, contested by the management and many supporters: and it is difficult to overcome it in the last matches of this season.
