In case of Juventus’ defeat to Udinese, head coach Andrea Pirlo may be sacked despite securing a Champions League spot.
Juventus head coach Andrea Pirlo’s position is under threat, and this entire season he’s suffered doubts about holding his job.
Juventus may fire Pirlo if they lose to Udinese in the next Serie A round.
The Bianconeri might fire if the specialist cannot win Sunday’s match, reports TuttoJuve, itself citing the Turin newspaper La Stampa.
Juventus are fourth in Serie A with 66 points, which is 5 less that third-placed Napoli. This evening, they take on Parma at the Allianz Stadium.
Agnelli’s Words
Juventus Chairman Andrea Agnelli, in his latest interviews, said that he will not have regrets about Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Agnelli gave interviews to Il Corriere dello Sport and La Repubblica, and made matters worse for Pirlo.
While stating that he has no regrets over Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo’s departures, he also spoke about Juventus’ season.
“I’ve never regretted signing Cristiano Ronaldo, if I could go back in time, I will do it again, and I have no regrets about Andrea Pirlo either,” he said.
Agnelli critiqued UEFA and FIFA for not taking any financial risks, before six English clubs withdrew from the Super League.
Because of this, he revealed that clubs have had to shoulder the financial responsibility of the pandemic alone.
Allegri May Replace Pirlo
Juventus have agreed to re-appoint Massimiliano Allegri even if Andrea Pirlo secures a Champions League spot, according to SportMediaset.
Allegri is likely to return to the Bianconeri at the end of the season, according to the story, effectively sealing his fate.
Two years after his dismissal, the Old Lady could get Allegri back after, as Pirlo’s future at the Allianz Stadium becomes increasingly unclear.
According to the broadcaster, the Old Lady have already made their decision, which is different from what they claimed before.
Pirlo may be sacked despite securing a Champions League spot.
So, Pirlo will not be able to save his career even though he qualifies for the Champions League.
That, or winning over Udinese, or cinching the Coppa Italia- none of it may help him now.
