Nedved suggested Juventus dismiss Allegri but Agnelli said no
Baku, September 20, AZERTAC
Juventus have decided to move forward with Massimiliano Allegri despite their poor start to the season, something that vice-president Pavel Nedved was unconvinced about, according to Football Italia.
The Bianconeri currently sit 8th in the Serie A table after their poor start, picking up 10 points from two wins and four draws. The team have looked miserable on the pitch and fans are growing increasingly frustrated, mounting pressure on the Italian coach. Despite their struggles, which includes zero points from two Champions League group games, Allegri will not be dismissed yet.
As highlighted by Corriere della Sera, there was a meeting on Friday at the Juventus camp, where Andrea Agnelli, Federico Cherubini, Maurizio Arrivabene and Nedved all met to discuss the situation and their plan. During this meeting, Nedved mentioned the idea of dismissing Allegri, but this suggestion was rejected by Agnelli.
The Juventus president spoke to the coach on the phone yesterday, wanting reassurance that the team would stay united and continue working on moving forward as a unit, rather than allowing divisions to form in the dressing room.
The Old Lady are now in a delicate period and the coming months will prove key in Turin, so Allegri will need to work hard to turn things around fast.
