Poch, Gasp or Jardim for Juve?

By Football Italia staff




Mauricio Pochettino, Gian Piero Gasperini and Leonardo Jardim are the next batch of Coaches that Juventus are reportedly considering.
According to La Repubblica, Juve view Pochettino as the ideal alternative to Pep Guardiola.
The Argentine has guided Tottenham Hotspur to their first-ever Champions League Final, despite spending no money on transfers for over a year.
He also has family hailing from Turin and recently hinted that he could step down after Spurs’ all-English affair with Liverpool on June 1.
Elsewhere, Sport Mediaset claims the Bianconeri could bring back Gasperini, who has established Atalanta as a top-six side in Serie A.
The former Genoa boss began his playing career with the Old Lady and spent nine years in charge of their youth teams between 1994 and 2003.
Finally, Corriere della Sera writes super-agent Jorge Mendes has put forward the name of Jardim.
The Portuguese only returned to Monaco in January after Thierry Henry’s disastrous reign but led them to a Ligue 1 title and the Champions League semi-finals in 2017.



I'm a big fan of Allegri too ... but am started to be convinced with the idea of change ... ....

Am also i want to watch a real football ....I hate how we play .....I cant watch it .... ...lets have like this .....

break the comfort ...( Guaranteed Scudetoo with Allegri ) .... let us give a shoot with fantasy football managers ...like Pochettino .... and what could go worse ?

I will give up on one Scudetto ....actually i feel very boring of wining this ...without real football ...if that maintains our image of attractive football style ...

Scudetto doesn't need manager to win it for us ....we have super players can won it for us ...and we don't need that tactical intelligence to overcome a Serie A side

...and if Allegri can't guarantee a CL wining ...so do the others ....but at least we play some real football ....

I like Pochettino idea ....

It's not that I want see us playing fancy football or tiki-taka crap. I just want Juve to play with intensity again and be a bit more imposing. This has been sorely missing in the past year or two. Like I said, the cracks were opening up last year and I will admit that Ronaldo aside, we dint make the necessary reinforcements particularly in the midfield to give Allegri better options. The Bonucci signing is another disastrous signing. Our defense has looked even weaker than last season infact.

Look, Allegri has done a tremendous job and his record in the league will probably be unmatched for a long time but its also masked by the fact that we have perennial loser teams who sell their best players/change coaches to give us some sort of competition. It is pretty much the same scenario in France, Germany and Spain.

I am happy we keep winning however particularly this season, I have lost the enjoyment of watching Juve games despite us signing the GOAT. It is understandable that the players get bored and unmotivated once they keep winning however this is responsibility of the coach to keep the players in peak form mentally and physically which again was lacking this year.

5 years is a long time in football nowadays. I think both parties would benefit from a change of scenery.

Every big club have their own distinctive brand of football, and all of them have been sticking to their respective football philosophies for tens of years.

Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, - heck, even Ajax, - have shown more or less the same football for many, many years. It's not like, say, Liverpool or Ajax brought something new to the table - they have been always playing like this.

Juventus's brand of football means relying on a rock solid defense and the ability to steamroll opponents when the main strategy doesn't work. In the first Allegri's years in Turin, every opponent knew: if they conceded a goal, they were screwed, because 0:1 against Juventus was equal to 0:3 against Barcelona. And when Juventus met the strongest opponents, like Bayern Munich, who managed to break their defense, the team responded strongly in the reverse leg. Like Juventus did in Munich several years ago. Like Juventus did against Atletico in Turin this year.

If you look back, for example, at the second Lippi's term, it was no different. The most beautiful win, 3:1 against Real Madrid in semi-finals in 2003, is a perfect example of this very pattern. A lot of people, even those who aren't Juventus supporters, still consider that game the best game that has ever been played in the CL history.

This year Juventus have had a weak defense, a lot of injuries, and a non-existent midfield. Apart from injuries, which I think Max is mostly responsible for, there was nothing much he could do with this squad in these circumstances. And the idea that switching to some fancy attacking football is what would have fixed all the problems, is quite naive.

Juventus have to stick to their brand of football. Why many of us chose to support this club? Because their football is rational. It gives you the intellectual pleasure. As opposed to all of those kings for an hour of these days, who give you the vivid taste of junk food, Juventus rely on healthy food. It can feel tasteless sometimes, but that is what gives you almost 40 champion titles and almost 10 Champions League finals.

If you want to experience what it's like to be a Liverpool or other trendy club fan, you can, so to speak, retrospectively emulate being their fan, for, say, the last 10 years. Just check Wikipedia to realize what it would have been like. This exercise helps you appreciate what Juventus do and why they should keep doing whatever they think is the right thing to do.

Surely "our philosophy" is fucked if we're the worst achieving CL finalists in world football though? Football changes, tactics change. Idolising a certain way of playing is pointless.

If we want to sit back and grind 1-0s in Europe we better hope to god we unearth two new world class defenders, a new midfield and carry a counter attacking threat potent enough to make teams think twice about camping outside our 18 yard box. And We would still be fucked in the modern era.

Then he has no leverage in asking for a raise. We just say no and and he stays anyway
Doesn't this policy apply to any football player as well who wants a contract renewal or will join another club inspite of having one or two years on his contract

So do we want him out or not? The post makes no sense
We are waiting for pochettino

You get money when a player is sold. You don't sell managers (although I think in some cases a club may get compensation if the manager leaves for another club)

Sarri case last year. But AA is not a dick like ADL. Anyway it's a bad decision to keep an unmotivated coach on his last year of contact on.

Thank you for not seeing the world through nostalgia lenses.
