Max Allegri on his Juventus future: “I’m very calm”

Juventus manager Max Allegri has revealed that he is ‘very calm’ about his future amidst doubts regarding his future at the club.

Allegri’s Juve are now third in the table and recent form has been rather average for the Bianconeri, who were competing very much for the title at the turn of the year. But fixtures around the loss to Inter saw them drop points to less capable teams and they have also dropped away from second.

Allegri’s future has come in question because of this drop off and he has been asked about it in recent weeks. In a recent chat with the press ahead of the Genoa clash, Allegri was again asked about it.

He said: “I believe it is the result of the work done by the club in recent years. Future? I have a year left on my contract, I am very calm. We are and must be focused on this year’s objectives. At the moment we have reached the World Cup, a wonderful adventure, because it is a new competition with very great teams and it will be nice. The objectives must be achieved, playing the Champions League next year. To do this we must arrive by May 25th.”

He was also asked about how the side can improve defensively and he said: “Paradoxically in the last few games we have conceded few chances, but we have conceded many goals. We must continue to improve and work, but above all pay more attention to the team and not to individual players.”

If Juve beat Genoa tomorrow, they will go back to the second place as Milan play later in the day. If the Rossoneri win, they would return to second.
