Chairman of Italian football club Juventus Football Club, Andrea Agnelli, says the job of the club’s manager, Massimiliano Allegri, is safe for now.
Newsbreak.ng reports that Juventus’ hopes of progressing to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) last 16 suffered a massive blow as they were stunned 2-0 by Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday.
It leaves them with just four points from four games in Group H and with them staring down the barrel. Agnelli came out to speak after the defeat.
The Serie A giants are also struggling domestically.
Amid more pressure being piled on head coach Allegri, the club’s helmsman told Sky Sport Italia: “It’s not the coach’s fault that we can’t even make a tackle.
“Allegri will stay at least until the end of the season.
“I feel ashamed for what is happening, I am angry, but I also know that football is played with 11 men, you lose and win with 11.
“In a situation like this, it’s not about one person. It’s a matter to be dealt with by a whole group.
“We feel ashamed, we apologise to our fans, because we know they must feel ashamed to walk around at the moment.”
