Sarri snipes at Allegri and Juventus over failed season | OneFootball

Maurizio Sarri snipes at Max Allegri after the Juventus coach was sacked, noting that winning the Coppa Italia is ‘not enough to salvage the season.’

The Bianconeri fired Allegri just 48 hours after he won the Coppa Italia Final against Atalanta, as his behaviour in and after that event was considered ‘incompatible’ with the values of the club.

Paolo Montero was appointed as interim manager for the remaining two games of the Serie A season, where he hopes to cling on to third place.

“From the outside, it’s difficult to tell what happened between Allegri and the club, you’d need to be inside to say who was wrong,” Sarri told Tuttomercatoweb.

“The motto at Juve is that winning is the only thing that matters, so I don’t know if winning the Coppa Italia is really enough to salvage the season.”

Sarri knows how demanding Juventus can be

Sarri was famously sacked by Juventus despite securing the Serie A title, as Champions League elimination in 2020 was more damaging.

Following his return to Turin, Allegri did not win any silverware for two years until this Coppa Italia.

It was widely reported he was going to be sacked this summer regardless and some feel the Coppa Italia touchline antics merely gave the club an excuse to dismiss him.

Thiago Motta of Bologna is considered the favourite to take over at Juventus next season.
