Juventus have been criticized for the way they ended their relationship with Massimiliano Allegri despite the Italian huge success with the Seria A side.
Allegri was sacked by the Juventus back in May, less than 48 hours after he guided the club to another Coppa Italia title, bringing a sudden and dramatic end to his second spell in Turin.
Despite his reputation in the world of football, Allegri faced much criticism from fans for the team’s negative style of play and relatively poor results.
Giovanni Branchini, the agent of Massimiliano Allegri, had now open up about the coach’s plans for the future as well as dishing out some words to Juventus.
Speaking to Fulvio Collovati via Calciomercato.com, Branchini first defended Allegri for his second spell with Juventus.
“The Juventus squad of recent seasons wasn’t as perfect as they wanted to make people believe, otherwise they wouldn’t have carried out this transfer market this summer. In my opinion, there was simply a squad that couldn’t allow us to do much more.”
He commented on Allegri’s plans for the future.
“Allegri is looking for an interesting project to coach with his characteristics, his beliefs that are clear to everyone. I think he has shown something in these years, he loves his job and will wait for an important project.”
Finally, Branchini discussed the criticisms of Allegri.
“Many people have invented a profession by criticizing Allegri. There are people of average calibre who’ve found popularity in insulting him and criticizing him that perhaps they wouldn’t have found otherwise.
“I justify it because everyone has to make ends meet as they know how and as they can.”
