Plot twist at Juventus: Thiago Motta will not be the next coach, Elkann has a surprise coup in mind.
It is incredible to see how much in the world of football, Judgments about a coach or a player can change so quickly.
When Massimiliano Allegri decided to accept the courtship of Andrea Agnelli, and return to the helm of Juventus again, after his first five-year period which had consecrated him as one of the most successful coaches in the history of the club, he he did by rejecting a very important offer that came from Spain.
The Tuscan coach made a heartfelt choice by returning to Turin, because Real Madrid was in fact ready to offer him the Los Blancos bench. And being chosen by Florentino Perez, and therefore by the most successful club in the world, gives a good idea of how at that moment the coach from Livorno was considered among the best in the world.
Now, however, at the end of this Allegri Bis, it seems that no top club is more willing to believe in him, even though only three years have passed since that day. Probably not even Allegri expected to encounter so many difficulties in his return.
Allegri’s difficulties in these three years
And certainly, there could be nothing predictable about the fact, for example, that, shortly after a year from his arrival, the same management that had chosen him, and with whom he was also linked by a bond of profound friendship, she would have resigned due to the resulting judicial scandal from the Prisma investigation of the Turin Prosecutor’s Office.
Or the fact that this year, for example, he suddenly found himself losing what he considered the cornerstones of the Juventus midfield, namely Fagioli and Pogba, the former suspended for the entire season due to the betting scandal, and the latter disqualified for four years due to his positive anti-doping tests.
Elkann surprises everyone: Allegri’s successor will not be Thiago Motta
In any case, it seems that the decision has already been made by the Juventus club, and that Allegri will be notified of his dismissal at the end of the season. Most sports journalists are sure that Thiago Motta will be the Tuscan coach’s successor, but Elkann could surprise everyone with a surprise coup.
In fact, from some rumors it seems that the CEO of Exor wants to personally choose the new technician, and is ready to do a very important offer to the national coach Luciano Spalletti, to propose him to lead the team immediately after the European Championship. All that remains is to wait and see if the club is really ready to make an offer for the Tuscan coach.
