Max Allegri’s agent, Giovanni Branchini, has defended his second spell at Juventus following the former manager’s dismissal.
Allegri was highly successful during his first tenure as the club’s manager, but his return in 2021 did not go as planned.
He managed the team until the closing weeks of last season, securing just an Italian Cup over three seasons.
Juve also played a dull and uninspiring brand of football, prompting fans to call for his departure.
Despite having some talented players like Gleison Bremer and Dusan Vlahovic, who performed well under him, particularly last season, Allegri struggled to improve the team overall. Watching the Bianconeri play was often challenging for fans.
However, Branchini insists that Juve’s squad was not strong enough to perform better, which is why they have made numerous signings this summer.
He said, as quoted by Calciomercato:
“The squad of Juve in recent seasons was not as perfect as they wanted to make people believe, otherwise they would not have done this transfer market this summer. In my opinion, there was simply a team that could not allow them to do much more.”
Juve FC Says
Allegri was never a manager who played good football, and he just knew how to win trophies during his first spell as our manager.
When he stopped winning silverware, it was clear that it was time for him to leave, and we had taken too long to make that decision.
He could have left earlier.
That is exactly what I wanted to sayyyyy man
Allegri’s return in 2021 was a mistake. A very very big mistake.
WHY does he protect allergy? He NEVER had any varied tactics. They should have played with different tactics in every match. He is NOT a coach if he did NOT want to be 1 with Juventus, ONLY between the first and fourth place. Every match was an ugly mess. NOTHING was a nice game, they did NOT score many goals, even with the WEAK teams, he played HARD for Juventus
I always said, bring him back was a mistaken.. Yet some fan at that time saying he was going to elevate us more than Pirlo.. Even Pirlo won more throphy in his very first season as a manager compared to Aleggri’s 2nd spell.. And a reminder, Aleggri’s 1st spell also wasnt that spectacular either.. Yes we are doing pretty well in the UCL with him, but the reason why Juve was really dominant in the league at that time cause most of Serie A top team were “sleeping” at that time.. See what happen when all those top team have build their team?? Aleggri cant do much..
