During his first spell in Turin, Max Allegri was always in control of the locker. Aside from a few minor incidents, the tactician was well liked by his troops.
However, his second stage has been nothing but disastrous. Yesterday’s loss to Maccabi Haifa saw the club hit a new low.
According to La Repubblica via Calciomercato, there has been a growing gap in the Juventus dressing room, between players who remain faithful to the Italian strategist and others who want him gone as soon as possible.
Despite the love-hate relationship between the two men, Leonardo Bonucci still supports the manager under fire, perhaps out of a sense of duty.
Allegri has also had the support of other veteran players, such as Danilo, Juan Cuadrado, Wojciech Szczesny and his pupil Mattia De Sciglio.
Then there is a group of players who are not totally against the coach, but who are getting tired of the current situation. This includes Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, and Adrien Rabiot.
On the other hand, the report claims that new players are leading the revolt.
For example, Ángel Di María and Leonardo Paredes have a cool relationship with the tactician, while Gleison Bremer and Filip Kostic have expressed concern about Allegri’s baffling tactics.
