Allegri’s Juventus future not tied to Coppa Italia final

May 9, 2022

Despite fans calling for his departure, Juventus have no plans to replace Massimiliano Allegri, regardless of how the Coppa Italia final goes.

It’s not been an easy season in Turin for the Italian coach, who returned last summer following Andrea Pirlo’s dismissal. He was forced to do without Cristiano Ronaldo once the season had started and star winger Federico Chiesa’s season was ended in January through injury, leaving him without top attacking threats for large parts of the campaign.

As detailed by Calciomercato.com, Juventus’ minimum goal for this season was Champions League qualification, something already achieved by Allegri’s side. The Coppa Italia is a nice bonus, but the club are planning to move ahead with the Italian coach regardless of the result.

The Bianconeri trust in Allegri’s ability to lead the team through transition and that’s why he’s contracted to the club for the next three years, giving him time to build a new project in Turin.

Historic precedent suggests Lautaro-Correa is best for Coppa Italia final

May 8, 2022

If Simone Inzaghi had any doubts about his Inter attack for the Coppa Italia final against Juventus next week, historic results could give him a clue who to start.

The Nerazzurri will play in their first Coppa Italia final in a decade next week on Wednesday, giving Inzaghi the chance to secure his second piece of silverware in the Lombardy capital. Inter’s last cup final came in the 2010-11 season, when they beat Palermo 3-1 in the final.

As highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Argentinian players have had an important impact on Inter’s Coppa Italia finals in the past, scoring nine of their last 13 goals in the decisive match. These include goals for Hernan Crespo, Diego Milito, Julio Cruz and Cambiasso.

With Joaquin Correa returning to full fitness, Inzaghi may decide to partner the former Lazio man alongside an in-form Lautaro Martinez, relying on an Argentinian strike force to overcome Massimiliano Allegri’s inconsistent Juventus.

Allegri must win Coppa Italia to salvage season

May 8, 2022

Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus will now undoubtedly finish the season in a poorer fashion than they did last year under Andrea Pirlo and the pressure is on ahead of the Coppa Italia final.

Following the painful 2-1 loss to Genoa on Friday, the Bianconeri can only finish the season with a maximum of 75 points now, three lower than what Pirlo’s team finished with last campaign. Both this season and last, Juventus were knocked out of the Champions League in the Round of 16 stage, so Allegri failed to improve on that front either.

Pirlo did manage to secure the Coppa Italia last year and now Allegri has the chance to match that, although he’ll have to overcome Simone Inzaghi’s hungry Inter. Winning the cup wouldn’t fully salvage the disappointing season, but it would at least give the fans something to smile about ahead of the next campaign.

Should Allegri fail to guide Juventus to Coppa Italia glory next week, the Bianconeri will fail to win a trophy for the first time in a decade.

Juve receive Locatelli boost ahead of Coppa Italia final

May 8, 2022

Manuel Locatelli will be called up for Juventus’ upcoming Coppa Italia final against rivals Inter.

The 24-year-old Italian midfielder, who joined the Bianconeri last summer from Sassuolo, suffered a medial collateral ligament problem in the first half of Juventus’ 1-0 loss to Inter on April 3, forcing him to miss the last five consecutive league outings.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Locatelli has recovered from his injury and will be called up by Allegri for the Coppa Italia final against Inter on May 11. He has been working hard in training over the last few days and has been desperate to be fit for the match.

It’s hard to imagine Locatelli starting the match, but he could come off the bench in the second half to give Juventus a boost.

Weston McKennie, on the other hand, has not been able to recover from his injury in time and so will not be called up for the final. He’s aiming to be fit in time for the next league game against Lazio.
