Paolo Montero this Saturday he closed the championship with the Under 19s drawing in Frosinone. In fact, the young Juventus players drew 0-0 on the last day, finishing the season in twelfth place, at 41 points like Lecce. The Uruguayan coach watched the match from the stands, due to disqualification, having been sent off in the previous match for protesting against the referee. And in the next few hours he will take up Massimiliano Allegri’s baton in the first team: he is in fact the one chosen to lead the Juventus first team in the last two matches against Bologna and Monza. We are just waiting for the official announcement.
Meanwhile, in the morning Juventus met at Continassa for their first training session without Allegri at the helm. A session directed by Padoin and Magnanelli, the only veterans of Allegri’s staff. The two former footballers directed the training session the day before the away match against Bologna, set for Monday evening at the Dall’Ara. Before going onto the pitch, President Ferrero, CEO Scanavino and Football Director Giuntoli met the team. Morning training scheduled for tomorrow.
The words of the first opponent as Juve coach
“Juve is a strong team that has just won the Italian Cup deservedly – underlined the rossoblù coach Thiago Motta in the press conference the day before Bologna-Juventus – I expect a strong Juventus with a coach who I know personally and who is a fantastic person, who has done a great job as a player and who will also be able to do so as a coach. I have a lot of respect for him. For Allegri I say to continue and good luck for the future.” It’s curious that Thiago Motta could be Montero’s replacement on the Juventus bench next season.
