Maybe Juventus can recover a bit between the world cup. Also, it would be better if good players could transfer during the interim transfer period. Juventus is a big team, I expect them to be candidates for the championship like everyone else. In Serie A, they must be one of the championship contenders and be in the championship race until the last moment.
Juventus do not look like they are about to recover from their bad period, they are too inconsistent, they win one game and lose the next one or two, they cannot be contenders in that way, their form in the champions leaue is also a problem, and it is affecting how they are performing in the league, Juventus' owners have said they are not going to sack the coach, i know they are trying to encourage him and give him more confidence, but he has to get Juventus out of their bad situation soon, or the owners may change their mind and let him go. But even though Juventus eventually starts playing well, i don't feel they can win the seria a, to end in the top four is what they may be playing for.
I see Juventus will be very difficult throughout this season if not sack Alegri. Even to finish in the Champions League zone will be very difficult for them to get. Juventus management should have realized this before it was too late, because it was better to pay compensation for him than to lose another bigger income.
