Allegri and Juve, it’s over!
We begin this press review in Italy where Massimiliano Allegri leaves Juventus. “Inevitable exemption” poster the Gazzetta dello sport. It could have been a nice ending with a nice statement of thanks from the club. But it rather ended in the worst possible way, with the victory of the Italian Cup overshadowed by shouts, quarrels, hysterical scenes of an enraged Allegri writing the diary on pink paper. In the Corrierre Dello Sport we can read that the Italian coach left Juve in chaos. The club dismissed Allegri citing an attitude “not compatible with the values of the club”.
Guardiola close to becoming a legend
We’re going to England now. Manchester City must confirm tomorrow (Sunday, editor’s note) by winning against West Ham on the last day to become champion. In the Daily Telegraph, we are talking about a Pep Guardiola who can enter the legend of the championship with Manchester City. He can be the best of all time if he wins his sixth title in eight years. A performance that would be stronger compared to Alex Ferguson’s 13 titles with Manchester United.
Laporta slams the door for Xavi
We finish in Spain and we can’t miss Xavi at Barça. Announced about the departure a few months ago then maintained for a few weeks, Xavi could finally leave the club. “It’s over”, sign Sport in its front page. “His future hanging by a thread”, poster Marca. The meeting between the president and the coach is scheduled for next week in a meeting that will determine the future of the coach one way or another. For the coaching position, Laporta is already thinking about Xavi’s successor. In A.S., we mention three names. That of Conceiao, Rafa Marquez, and Hans-Dieter Flick.
