Juventus coach Max Allegri: A week of bitterness and anger

Juventus coach Max Allegri admits it's been a very difficult week for the club.

Juve meet AC Milan on Sunday with their Euro hopes over after receiving a new 10-point penalty for their role in the capital gains scandal.

“It was a difficult week, not a good one looking at the results," Allegri confessed to the press. “The disappointment of Sevilla, the bitterness, the anger and then the defeat of Empoli.

“Now we need to dust ourselves off because there are two games left and tomorrow is Juventus-Milan. The stadium will be full, it will have to be a good evening also because we have to make up places in the league table.

“Tomorrow is the last game of this season at home. Tomorrow is only about Juventus-Milan. They aim to get into the Champions League, mathematically we are not out of anything. The match in Empoli certainly did complicate the process, though."

Allegri also said: “With the club, we are in line on everything. I'm a coach, I've never had the power and I don't even want to have it. The club makes the decisions and these are things I have never spoken about and above all never had a say on.

“I care a lot about the team that I work for, I work well with all the people who are employed by the club because the goal is getting results for Juventus. I didn't like the rumours that I had an influence (over the choice of sporting director). I don't have the power, these are things that exclusively concern the club."
