We won't have Allegri back.
It will be Sarri, Inzaghi or Poch. Hopefully the latter.

This is very difficult to say right now. I can't believe that Agnelli watches the games we are watching and is satisfied with the way we are playing. I can hardly imagine next year being any different. This is it, this is simply the football you will get with Sarri unless we will have a massive overhaul of the squad, which we won't have because I don't think 1. we have the funds, and 2. management probably thinks this team is competitive enough to win the Scudetto and make a run in the CL. It would also be against their policy to buy players that suit the current manager's style of play.
For the past 9 years, we stuck with our previous 2 managers (and rightly so because they both have been very successful). But I don't think just winning the Scudetto this year will cut it any longer because of the immense quality difference between us and the rest of Italy so how we perform in the CL should be a deciding factor. IMO what should have happened is continue with "pragmatic" Allegri for the next few years and gradually change the team to a team that would be capable of playing Sarri-type or Guardiola-type football and revisit this change of style later. Having said that, Allegri was perfectly capable (with the right players) to play attractive, fluid but a balanced type of football (see 2017 and especially 2015 when we reached the CL finals). To answer your question, however, It's impossible to read management's minds but I do think they made this decision very conciously last year and they will probably give him another year, regardless of what happens against Lyon.

“It’s difficult to find balance at the moment, as everyone in every team is getting tired. We’re also not as aggressive because of that, but I believe organisation is more important than aggression right now. It’s more mental fatigue than physical, as we lost our cool after the equaliser
Sarri's game management is very bad. He knew that his players are tired. But why he keeps a very intense press and aggressively attack them when we are tired and play every 3 days. Absorb their pressure and counter attack. Deliver the final blow if neccessary when we lead

You guys think that under a different coach, really, the same team would behave that differently? Bernardeschi and Rugani would regain confidence, Sandro, Pjanic, Higuain, Danilo, Ramsey would regain drive, Costa and Khedira would stop injuring, Matuidi would learn how to play football.
Look at our players, really. Most of them come from a downwards spiral from the last couple of years, and little was done to change it.
My point is not against sacking Sarri. It's that the most important part is to get rid of the many washed up players we have. With him or with a different coach. And none of the coaches in the market, except for Allegri, are that attractive right now.
What I wanna see is Paratici do work, since chance is almost nul he gets sacked.

Big ask Bro. At this point, I'd be going to the nearest Buddhist temple to pray for a win against Lyon

I've been waiting since 96 for a CL title. If winning the CL title means no Serie A for 3-4 years, Covid or not, I'm totally fine with that.
We've been eating pizza and pasta for 9 straight years - there is an element of saturation and complacency. I'd like us to start having Grade A5 Japanese Wagyu beef for a change.
