Massimiliano Allegri obtained his 12th trophy on the Juventus bench
Juventus won their 15th Italian Cup by beating Atalanta 1-0 and Massimiliano Allegri obtained his 12th trophy as Juventus coach. From the columns of Corriere dello Sport, Ivan Zazzaroni praises the coach: “And now Max can go. He brought home everything he should and could. His liver was also crushed. The criticisms, the insults, the tensions and the disagreements all ended up in the Italian cup, its fifth Italian cup: Juve won it by playing the match that most resembles it since the quality dropped considerably, but the will and the sense of team prevails”.
“And now Allegri no longer has his tie, he tore it off, and his white shirt, and shortly before that his jacket and the patience with which he had to endure three very unfortunate years were gone. Only his DNA remained on him Juve, winning is the only thing that matters. And now to make Allegri forget we will have to do better than Allegri who is no longer current affairs, but history. And I don’t envy those who will have to take the responsibility of sending him away Juventus is soon done: 5 championships, 5 Italian Cups and two Italian Super Cups in eight years, barring surprising second thoughts and unforeseen events of various kinds – I’ve seen everything, even Ronaldo the Phenomenon moving to Milan and getting the umbrella gesture from Moratti, who remains a great gentleman -, Allegri will stop at 422 benches with Juve (including last night’s match and the next two), maintaining second place in the club’s history: Trapattoni precedes him with 596, behind Max are Lippi ( 405), Heriberto Herrera (215) and Carlo Parola (212)”.
“And as I write I receive dozens of messages. From Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Rome, Turin, Noto and they are all those who participated remotely in Allegri’s journey, the unpleasant one, the one who doesn’t know how to communicate, the one who hasn’t updated himself , the one that doesn’t improve the players, but I’ve never seen such a team-man as Vlahovic. And now let’s go to Atalanta in Dublin.”
