The identikit

Stefano Discreti on the Allegri-Vaciago affair: “What a shame Mister!”

Stefano Discreti sulla vicenda Allegri-Vaciago: "Che peccato Mister!"

I thought about it a lot before writing and whether to write about it.
Yes, I personally witnessed part of the Allegri/Vaciago dispute live.
When I went out from the conference room into the corridor hearing altered voices, I never expected to find myself in front of the Juventus coach who was barely stopped by the stewards.
I won’t go into the merits of the matter but I wonder how it is possible to end a relationship that lasted almost 10 years with the Old Lady in such an unjustifiable way.

I have never loved Allegri, although I recognize his great value in managing the resources available. However, I have always tolerated his way of understanding football reluctantly.
I would never have taken him back on the bench, much less would I have ever offered him the crazy four-year contract that Agnelli invented almost senselessly.
For me, Allegri’s cycle on the Juventus bench had already ended in Cardiff.
Yet last night, at the stadium, towards the end of the match I stood up in the press gallery (one of the few) to applaud him when he tried to assert the Juventus reasons against the totally wrong refereeing decisions that everyone saw.
But what I saw next I just can’t accept.
For me Juve is and will always be a question of style.
And last night Allegri ended his story with Juventus in the worst possible way.
He could have emerged victorious, but this indelible stain will remain forever.
What a shame Mister
