Former Italian manager and Max Allegri mentor Giovanni Galeone insists Juventus are poor at the moment with or without their injured players.
After dominating Serie A and winning 9 consecutive league titles, Juve have struggled for the last three campaigns.
He finished the last without a single trophy, forcing him to make changes to his squad in the summer transfer market.
Newcomers like Angel di Maria, Gleison Bremer and Leandro Paredes are expected to make the team better than last year, but that hasn’t been the case so far.
Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa are two key players who are out through injury, but Galeone reckons that even if they return, this Juve squad is poor.
He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“Juventus as a whole, with Di María, Chiesa, Pogba and the other injured players, is a mediocre team. Without him you drop even more and you can make figures like Benfica’s”.
Juve FC says
We have had a bad season and things must change sooner rather than later.
The defeat at the hands of Benfica should make all the players in the team sit up, and we expect an answer against Monza.
However, if that doesn’t happen and we drop points again, the club should consider firing Allegri.
