Max Allegri on Antonio Cassano’s latest outburst: “I know where he’ll end up—he always lands on his feet.”

Speaking to Viva El Fútbol, Antonio Cassano once again took aim at his favorite target, Massimiliano Allegri, criticizing Napoli’s decision to keep him on as coach following the team’s recent poor results: “To me, it’s madness. In 10 games, he’s earned 15 points—that’s relegation territory.”

“I don’t understand his statements. He said they’re still in the Coppa Italia, but it hasn’t even started yet. In the Champions League, the group stage ends in mid-January, and you can’t say anything yet. To me, his statements are crazy, and he’s saying things that defy all logic. I don’t understand why they don’t fire this coach, who, under these conditions, keeps causing disasters in a team that, individually, is the strongest.”

Cassano then made a prediction about the Tuscan coach’s future: “Allegri will go to Fiorentina with Paratici; he always lands on his feet, and you’ll see. They parted on bad terms, but both he and Paratici always land on their feet”:

Turning his attention to the national team, the former striker criticized Roberto Mancini’s decision not to call up Frosinone midfielder Giacomo Calò: “What he’s doing is plain for everyone to see; I would have called him up. If you’ve got Xavi, Iniesta, and Senna from Villarreal, Xabi Alonso, and Busquets in front of you—I’ll tell Giacomo that I care about him, but he might as well stay home. But if Mancini is giving opportunities to young players and then you have players like Fagioli, who’s neither fish nor fowl, and then Barella, who’s been on a downward spiral for three or four years, and Tonali, who’s making a laughingstock of himself at Tottenham—I would have called up Calò for these two games; the field is speaking for itself.”
