This is where I won my first Scudetto and also where I stopped. I could write an autobiography about what I have gone through, Max Allegri said in a choked voice.
Those were Max Allegri's final statements as Juventus coach. After 5 years of association, he and the "Old Da" have ruled Serie A for 5 years. And the Italian strategist will look for a new challenge.
As for Juventus, without having to wait until the 52-year-old coach left, the club has been looking for a replacement for him for several weeks. The Italian champions may even have been calculating a successor to the captaincy after they were eliminated from the Champions League.
Many of Europe's top strategists are on the cards. And this is also an opportunity for coaches to "heat up" the world media.
First, Jose Mourinho hinted that Ronaldo wanted to reunite with him in Turin. The two had a period of collaboration at Real Madrid and won the La Liga championship together in the 2011/12 season.
However, the relationship between CR7 and his hometown coach has been "cracked" since their last season working together. Ronaldo publicly criticized Mourinho's defensive playing style and in the summer of 2013, the "Special One" had to say goodbye to " Los Blancos".
The Portuguese strategist returned to England to lead Chelsea but still did not forget to "ted" the 34-year-old striker whenever he had the chance. After saying that Hazard was "up to" Ronaldo, he criticized his former student for not contributing much to Portugal in the Euro 2016 championship. It is unbelievable that with such reservations, CR7 wants Mourinho to become Juventus' head coach.
Remember, the "Old Lady" has high expectations for her 105 million euro contract. Therefore, to win the Champions League, Juventus will have to find a coach who has affirmed his class and is loved by Ronaldo. With these two factors, new coaches can easily start their work in Turin.
Mourinho is classy but also has a " dissatisfaction" with the owner of 5 Ballons d'Or, so it will be difficult for him to take over the Juventus coaching position. As for Maurizio Sarri, he has never been involved with CR7, but his class is a big question mark.
As the Allianz team had not found a replacement for Max Allegri and expressed interest in him, teacher Sarri immediately put pressure on Chelsea's board with a statement, unable to use the Europa League final to decide his future. Because if so, the 60-year-old strategist would leave immediately.
In Italy, Sarri's reputation is still very great. He once helped Napoli become Juventus' doi true importance in the Serie A championship race. Sarri's first season in England was not bad either.
Under his leadership, Chelsea have been runners-up in the League Cup, are third in the Premier League and will play the Europa League final against Arsenal on 30 May. However, he is still lacking in class in Europe's No. 1 playground and with his ambition, Juventus choosing the Italian expert will be an adventure.
The Italian press once reported that Pep Guardiola agreed to lead Juve with a salary of 24 million euros/season. In addition, when asked who will be his successor at Juventus, Coach Allegri hinted: "A coach from Manchester is coming".
That made fans more confident, the fact that Man City could not continue to go deep in the Champions League made Pep discouraged. Recently, the blue half of Manchester is at risk of facing a penalty of not playing in the European arena. The Spaniard will take this opportunity to leave the Etihad.
However, almost immediately, both Pep Guardiola and Man City's Board of Directors denied the breakup rumors. The 48-year-old coach confirmed that he has 2 years left on his contract and will definitely not leave England unless he is fired. Juventus confirmed that the club had never intended to invite Pep to work. So, a candidate who suits both factors has been eliminated.
In addition to the three famous names mentioned above, throughout Europe, "Ba gia" also showed interest in Carlo Ancelotti, Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino. These names are all quality choices but there are many problems if Juventus want to cooperate.
Carlo Ancelotti is classy and very close to CR7 but he still has a contract with Napoli. Klopp and Pochettino will only decide their future after the Champions League final. Juventus will have to wait for their move.
Obviously, who will replace Max Allegri in the "hot seat" in Turin is an issue of concern for the whole of Europe. To date, Juventusini can only be sure that that person will be a guarantee for the "Lady of the Ancient Lady"'s ambition to reach the top of Europe.
