Pioli given a 2 year deal and the Rangnick deal has been cancelled now. Seems they'll have to pay Rangnick compensation for breaking the contract as well

Id be shocked if Sarri stays on for next season

Its a pity the other teams fell away because Juve have been there for the taking this season

zizou or poch apparently.

they've been poor recently. 5 from 15.

atalanta's form has been quite obscene! 15 wins and 3 draws in last 18 in serie a. outscored juve by 23 so far.

Juve would have won the league had they beaten Udinese. But they wouldn't have won the league if they were in an intense title race not a jokeshop title race with competition being the likes of Lazio.

And especially Inter. If they had any kind of winner mentality at that club they would be champion by now.

ERG89 · 24-07-2020 07:49PM

With no Romagnoli, Bennacer and Theo Hernandez I don't fancy Milan here at all, especially given that Gabbia(who?), Biglia and Laxalt are coming in for them

Headshot · 24-07-2020 09:36PM

Well that match was a big let down

very poor stuff

wonski · 24-07-2020 09:42PM

Yeah.

Wish Juve get some spirited competition next year.

They all seem to slow down as soon as they get to close to the 1st.

Even before that match I wouldn't expect Juve to loose it this season, but to have a bit of breath on their back could help. Just to show them it isn't guaranteed.

Inter should win their game against Genoa easily, give the overall league standing the whole "look how close that league is" only to achieve nothing else than being close again.

kksaints · 24-07-2020 09:44PM

Yeah, 2nd half was very poor. Atalanta look like they're slowing down a bit the last three matches they've played.

Headshot · 25-07-2020 04:55PM

Damn what a second goal by Parma

kksaints · 25-07-2020 09:19PM

Sassuolo have had four goals disallowed for offside against Napoli and are losing 1-0 with 70 minutes gone.

ERG89 · 26-07-2020 08:47PM

Juve look to be winning their 9th consecutive Serie A title tonight. I'm sure some people have found the title race interesting but they likely haven't been the ones watching it.

Immobile is 2 behind Higuain's goalscoring record (36) with 2 games left, next is a useless Brescia side and Lazio's last game is Napoli ironically enough.

Headshot · 26-07-2020 08:53PM

I watched the Lecce match day, now that was a thriller. Really hard luck on Lecce at least not getting a draw out of it

ERG89 · 01-08-2020 07:45PM

Immobile has tied the goalscoring record at 36 goals with a half left. Hope he beats it now. A much changed Juve losing (again) vs Roma; even Kalanic has scored against them. That is 42 conceded this season, think they have the worst defensive record of league winners in decades.

Yeah, what does it say about the rest of the clubs that are behind them? And Toro to stay up by about one point. Yippee ðŸ˜ž

Going to be a very exciting relegation decider tomorrow night.

Lecce V Parma
Genoa V Verona

Personally id like to see Genoa stay up something in the back of my mind says Lecce could this

I think the Lecce match could be the most entertaining

Headshot · 02-08-2020 08:41PM

Lecce match was full of goals

Headshot · 07-08-2020 07:13PM

Juve are in big big trouble

I'd go as far to say Sarri has around 80mins to save his job

ERG89 · 07-08-2020 09:04PM

I wonder are Juve any bit tempted to get rid of Sarri soon as they have f**k all of a chance in Europe the way they have been set up all season. Even at his best Ronaldo can't make up when you are being given trouble by Milan and Sassuolo who aren't exactly a Man City or Bayern.

3 weeks ago I wrote this thinking that City would have schooled them but they fall at the first (and shortest) hurdle. Up to Atalanta to fly the Italian flag, pity they are without Ilicic who scored a hattrick against Valencia.

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-08-2020 09:21PM

Poch to Juve makes the most sense imo. Doesn't look like there is a PL top 6 vacancy for him, even though I'd love him at United.

He ticks a lot of boxes for Juventus. Young and hungry, his teams play good football, believes in youth which their aging team needs, has reached a CL final...

Tuchel might be another option too, depending on how events go with PSG.

Feel for Sarri in a way because he's been unloved at his last two clubs despite achieving minimum objectives, but he doesn't look a comfortable fit at an elite outfit.

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-08-2020 01:15PM

Well, he's gone.

They didn't mess about with that, anyway. Poch is seemingly the favourite to replace him. He'd be my choice.

justshane · 08-08-2020 01:17PM

Conte back if things don’t improve with Inter?

Juventus have no money to get new players.

It isnt a job that appealing. They are obsessed with winning the CL & if Inter overtook them next season which may happen whoever is in charge will be a huge failure

Didn't see that one coming.

Ballsy appointment for sure. Wonder how Ronaldo will feel about it.

Agent Coulson · 08-08-2020 06:26PM

I guess they are hoping for the Zidane effect.

pm1977x · 08-08-2020 06:54PM

Madness, when he was appointed to the U23s I thought he'd be promoted a couple of years down the line, this seems like a panic move, otherwise why appoint him to the U23s at all if this was the plan?

MD1990 · 08-08-2020 06:55PM

Weird for Pirlo to be managing Ronaldo.

I think Juve will struggle next year

Barca tearing Napoli assunder, thought the opener was a foul but Napoli have been woeful at the back.
