Not trying to defend Italian Mourinho but it’s interesting we have another coach leaving on bad terms. Something rotten going on with our management for sure. I think there’s more to Conte’s departure as well.
It's pretty plausible they tried to force him out by having the press write about him and put him under unsustainable pressure.
I guess that's what Allegri was saying.
It's not easy to keep a clear head under those circumstances, but it would have been pretty cool of him if he had just praised his entire staff for this Coppa win and had pretended it didn't affect him at all. In fact, being in a pretty tough work environment myself and having had big confrontations before, it's almost always best to give people zilch. Be stoic in everything.
In all fairness to Allegri though he did do that for most of the season.

Why pay out the remainder of his contract when we can have a lawsuit and pay 3M on top of the remainder of his contract?
