...the fracture seemed to be over a difference of direction. If its true that him and Agnelli are close but they still sacked him? That tells me there was a strong difference in opinion...
i always had a feeling that allegri was sacked because the team lost motivation under him. i don't remember who it was exactly, but either nedved or agnelli said after cr was signed that the team needed a shake up, and cr provided it. now, we couldn't afford to sign an other cr type of player in 2 years, so we replaced the coach to shake things up a bit.
i bet that allegri wasn't sacked because of the results or the "ugly football" some fans complained about. on that ground, conte should have been sacked at 11:00 pm cet in istanbul, right after the cl group elimination. results at juve are planned and expected using a rather conservative approach. for this season, a cl quarter final and the scudetto are expected from a financial point of view, and as long as sarri is able to match these expectations, his position is safe. past results were fine with allegri - but agnelli wasn't optimistic about future results, so he changed.
agnelli saw that allegri burned out, and max confirmed in an interview that he certainly needed to recharge his batteries. no surprise that he didn't take any jobs during the summer.
