Careful with the sarcasm, you may wake up one day only to find Nedved96 looking back in the mirror.
Q: Does an apple a day keep @Nedved96 away?
A: Only if you aim it well enough. :agree:

I for one, am confident. :tup:

--------------------

On-topic and on a serious note: Unless some sort of disagreement with the board's strategy or disaster in terms of results pops up, then i'm pretty sure Allegri will eventually stay put and run out his contract here to at least the end of next season.

    Max Allegri is increasingly the prime target for Paris Saint-Germain after Thomas Meunier hinted Unai Emery will be sacked.

    The Juventus tactician has long been on their radar, but in recent weeks surpassed Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and Tottenham Hotspur’s Mauricio Pochettino in the management sweepstakes.

    This is because of his excellent Champions League record, taking Juve to two Finals in three years and disposing of Spurs in the Round of 16.

    Several French sources have already stated that Allegri is the favourite and now Le Parisien newspaper joins the chorus.

    He has a contract with Juventus until June 2020, but could be tempted by the unrivalled wealth of PSG.

    Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Meunier accidentally confirmed what everyone suspected ever since the Champions League exit to Real Madrid.

    “With regards to my future, I need to meet with the club and figure out what they are going to do,” he told reporters at a Press conference.

    “The club knows my position. I am waiting, as many things are going to change next season, including the Coach.”

    Napoli pass, Juve score | Football Italia

    Napoli have made 5,000 more passes than Juventus in Serie A games this season, but the Bianconeri are more accurate in their finishing.

    La Gazzetta dello Sport took advantage of the break for international duty to crunch the numbers and found some remarkable statistics.

    It’s no surprise that Maurizio Sarri’s men have made more passes than anyone else this term with almost 13,000.

    The unusual element is the gap of 5,000 passes compared to the next side down the list, Juventus.

    Curiously, although Napoli have made many more passes, their passing accuracy is only 84 per cent compared to 91.97 per cent for the Bianconeri.

    Atalanta are surprisingly top of the list when it comes to touches in the opposition penalty area, ahead of Roma and Napoli.

    Where Napoli are really let down is in their finishing, as only 15.59 per cent of their shots turn into goals. That’s a lower average than Sampdoria, Bologna, Udinese, Lazio and Juventus.

    Lorenzo Insigne is a big example of this, as he had 110 shots, but only scored with 6.36 per cent of them. It is a tiny number compared to Paulo Dybala’s 25 per cent and Gonzalo Higuain on 26.79 per cent.

    The most accurate forward in Serie A is Mauro Icardi, as in just 62 shots, the Inter striker scored 22 goals: 35.48 per cent of the time he has a go, it finds the back of the net.

    They had Higuain. Still didn't win shit
    the Higuain Napoli looked less good to me, Sarri has developed them well over the years.

    I agree to Nedved96, if they had the means to raise the level of their players they'd be even more dangerous, their attack is the first place I'd upgrade, there's no competitions for Callejon-Mertens-Insigne, all of them play through their slumps no questions asked. Mertens and Insigne are not very consistent and Callejon is a bit limited, yet their other options don't come even close to their level. their midfield f.e. have way more options to choose from
