Alessandro Del Piero: It wouldn't be right to sack Max Allegri | OneFootball

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero is an outspoken advocate for Juve boss Max Allegri and believes he should stay on as manager next season.

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, the 44-year-old backed the gaffer and said this current Juve side didn’t have the ‘intensity’ to win the Champions League this season.

“The coaches do not have an expiration date, everything depends on the tuning with the club on programs and objectives.

“If there is, then it would not be right to part ways with Allegri.

“This year the Champions League shows that, with the same technique, the team who succeeds in having the greatest intensity will likely win the match.

“Our club lacks that rhythm, this Champions League also taught us that trying to manage the result is difficult to overcome.

“The team who always plays as if it were 0-0 will win and today, we have to ask ourselves what it means to play well and, above all, at what speed and intensity we should go about it.

“In Europe, I saw technical, physical, and competitive performances at unimaginable levels.”

Juve will close out their Scudetto-winning season against Atalanta and Sampdoria.
