The words of John Galeone

Giovanni Galeone, as a mentor of Massimiliano Allegri, has no doubts: "Max’s exoneration è an’injustice, but at this point better soì. Becauseé if Max and Giuntoli don’t get along, better to separate. I have known Max for years: if the other night è blurted out like that, there must surely have been something serious that triggered his reaction. Not to mention that the penalty not given to Vlahovic was impossible not to assign… One thing è for sure: the team in the Italian Cup proved that they are with Max. È mathematical: otherwise Juventus does not win with that spirit against Gasperini’s Atalanta. Tactically they were perfect and defensively they did not concede anything". 

"This farewell è most painful. Its only fault è that of having done too well in the first round, creating illusions and external expectations. But do you think Simone Inzaghi with the Juventus squad would have won the Scudetto? Max won the Coppa Italia, took the team back to the Champions League and launched many youngsters. All this with the disqualifications of Fagioli and Pogba, someone who would have made a difference even just 20 minutes a game. Max can only be blamed for the turnaround, which, però in the end, did not jeopardize the seasonal goals the club had asked of himà". 

"Who will gain the most from the divorce?  Max, there’è no doubt. He won 12 trophies at the helm of Juve and is the only coach to have won the Italian Cup five times. Now room for the professors, let’s see if they will win as much at Juventus".
