A lot of people ironing over there in Turin.
Allegri sacked for touchline conduct
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
It is a cynical attempt at avoiding to pay him off yeah. He gave them grounds for it though“The dismissal follows certain behaviours during and after the Italian Cup final which the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and with the behaviour that those who represent it must adopt.”
This from the calciopoli club. I’m assuming it’s a pretext to sack him on misconduct grounds to avoid paying him his severance clause. Entirely in keeping with the grubby nature of that club.
He clearly doesn’t care about the payout. They’ve basically appointed motta a month ago and evidently there’s been a bunch of aggro behind the scenes for weeks which has spilled out onto the pitch.
Oh absolutely. The key issue here is he allegedly made physical threats against a journalist. Everything else - the touchline behaviour was honestly not even new for him, and others have done worse - the dismissive gestures towards the club's directors, the insults, all of that gets put in a box and forgotten, he gets sacked in 10 days, as had been the plan since last June, honestly. But with that over his head and the very real possibility of being able to avoid paying him off? Of course they pulled the trigger. He's got a 2 games touchline ban and their season is for all intent and purposes over - finishing 5th instead of 3rd doesn't nearly move the needle financially as much as saving €20M in severance pay would, and he wasn't going to be on the bench for these last 2 games anyways.
Allegri was pissed off at the club for treating him unfairly in his opinion, but yeah. The moment he went after Vaciago in that way he lost.
(DON’T TELL ANYONE, BUT IS MASSIMO ALLEGRI NOW AVAILABLE?)
He was sacked with damnatio memoriae and the threat of a legal action, yes… as the last man standing from the previous hierarchy, he won just another title in the face of FIGC who had set the scene for the maiden title of Atalanta, and purpotedly robbed of a larger win (just watch the highlights).
All the blah blah about the “assault” is just blah blah, they even made a press release together. Mind, Allegri clearly lost his cool after being ridiculed for three years from the inside and the outside, yet he delivered once more what really matters: a cup.
Now they can complete the transition to a less competitive, more entertaining rebuilding club. If Elkann is happy after having forked out one billion €€€ in the last three years to keep the toy afloat, who are we to disagree?

Elkann doesn't want to fork out another billion to keep the toy afloat for the next 3 years, that's the point
If he had fought the ludicrous allegations from Calciopoli 2 the same way he has now dispatched his latest hero, he would have not forked out anything.
Yes it’s a super-cynical business move saving them a few pennies.
No doubt some no-name 21 year old ‘director’ in their back office who fancies himself as a Gordon Gecko style capitalist ‘killer’ has decided it’s a sound business move that alpha-businesses make.
Probably the same idiot who thought it’d be a genius move to bring pogba back on a cool £10m annual wage.
I don't think anyone has actually answered this yet?
First Allegri saw the red card in extra time because he blew his temper at the fourth official. So far, nothing special really. But then, on his way to the post-game press conference, he is said to have threatened and insulted the chief editor of Tuttosport, and allegedly even tried to attack him and had to by physically stopped by a spokeswoman of the club. Said editor claimed that Allegri called him a "shit director" who was spreading lies, shoved him and told him "I know where I have to wait for you. I'll come and rip both your ears off. I'll come and punch you in the face." And as if that wasn't enough Allegri also allegedly cussed out and pushed away his own sporting director Giuntoli after the match.
Allegri himself only speaks of insults going both way with the chief editor.
And all of that in a game that Juventus actually won for a title.
He finished 4th with Juventus 25 points off the top, that should be considered a sackable offence anyway
This... Cup final antics just an excuse.
Have you seen the Juventus XI of the last couple years? That's about all they can hope for, they have nothing.
Why couldn’t they just say they’re firing him or have agreed to part ways, and leave it at that, like every other club does?
Giving such a flimsy excuse makes Juventus looks worse in this situation and may even open the door to Allegri suing for wrongful termination.

Giuntoli is definitely not 21, he built the Napoli side that won the title last season, and the last person responsible for signing Pogba still at the club as of yesterday was Allegri
No, it was an opportunity
Because Allegri went full unhinged lunatic and gave them the chance to sack him with just cause, so they're gonna take it.
Least hysterical Italian managerI don't think anyone has actually answered this yet?

Wrong crime. He should’ve defended racist abuse towards one of his own players if he wanted to keep his job as a manager for an Italian club.
Agree with posters saying it's just an excuse as Juventus were always going to ditch Allegri for Motta.
"values of Juventus" ... what does this mean?
"We might be able to save €20M afterall! Thanks for acting like an unhinged lunatic Max!"
