Andrea Agnelli trusts that the coach will reverse the team’s situation
‘Juve’ have to beat Benfica and PSG to keep their qualification options
Andrea Agnelli, president of Juventus, ratified Massimiliano Allegri as coach of the team until the end of the season on Tuesday after the defeat against Israeli Maccabi Haifa that greatly complicated qualification for the Champions League round of 16.
“It’s not a one person thing. It’s a group thing right now and we have to start over from this. There are no individual responsibilities. Juventus has always taken stock at the end of the year, it is hard for me to think of a change in the middle of the course, Allegri is the coach and he will stay, “he told the Sky Sport Italia microphones.
“We know there is shame, we have to apologize to the fans who are struggling to get out on the streets at the moment and we understand that. It is a difficult night, one of the most difficult moments. It is time to take responsibility. I am here for that and also because I am ashamed of what is happening. I am extremely angry, but also aware that football is a team sport“, sentenced the juventino president.
‘Juve’ have to beat Benfica and PSG to maintain their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 or, at least, score points to ensure third place that allows them to play in the Europa League.
