It will have full powers. Pirlo’s official exemption is awaited. The focus is on young people, Ronaldo towards goodbye and Mourinho calls him
TORINO
If patience is the virtue of the strong, then Massimiliano Allegri must be of steel: he waited two years for a moment like this and now he finds Juve like a king who returns home after an unfair exile. The farewell of Paratici, a four-year contract of 9 million net per season and above all the full powers obtained with the role of coach-manager, however, go beyond the concept of revenge.
This is also why he said no to Inter, Marotta wanted him to replace Conte, and rejected Real Madrid’s proposal to give him the bench of the resigning Zidane. Allegri has chosen to return to where he has won 5 scudetti and almost twice the Champions League to launch a new project, in this return to the future that will revolutionize the bianconeri. Not only on the pitch, but also in society as the coach will be the deus ex machina with Cherubini (promoted to diesse) at his side and soon a managing director to supervise (Carnevali del Sassuolo does not hold back: “Juve is a great club , for which we all have ambition “).
Pending the official announcement and Pirlo’s exemption, the Juventus club is preparing to experience the Allegri II. He is not the first coach to return, just mention Trapattoni and Lippi in more recent times, but the modalities of the return and the explicit request of President Agnelli (a friend to whom he could not say no) make him unique.
Perhaps there was no other way to cancel the incomprehensible exemption of 2019, but now the Livorno coach will be called to overtime to relaunch Juve. It will take insights and a lot of work to rebuild a team without being able to count on large investments, the probable capital increase will serve to make up for the losses given the heavy liabilities (-113 million in the last half-year), while there are many players in the balance. First of all, captain Chiellini, who can stay another year, and the whole attack. Ronaldo is increasingly distant from Juve, Dybala will not renew to free himself and Morata is on loan, but the most delicate issue is the future of CR7. He has a one-year contract, but has been intolerant for months and Allegri had told Agnelli in unsuspecting times that Juve had to leave without Ronaldo. His agent has contacted United for a sensational return, after such an idea was rejected by Real, but the salary scares everyone. Or almost, given that Mourinho called CR7 these days to greet him and understand his intentions: Rome would be a solution to save the advantages of the Italian tax (100 thousand euro flat rate on foreign earnings), but the hypothesis is complex for a thousand reasons .
Excluding Ronaldo, who has an impact on the Juventus coffers, Allegri will start again with young talents (Church above all) and must think about how to reinforce the midfield. It is Juve’s priority and there are two hot names: the director Manuel Locatelli of Sassuolo and the ten of Udinese, the Argentine Rodrigo De Paul. The first yesterday also put a conspicuous “like” on social media at the news of Allegri’s return to Juve, but the same thing was done by Gigio Donnarumma. The goalkeeper, now a former Milan, is in the sights of Juve as a free parameter of luxury, even if the Bianconeri must first give up Szczesny and the operation is not easy. Donnarumma, however, winks at Allegri. The new old era has already begun. –
