Juventus have failed to find an identity under Andrea Pirlo and that’s hardly surprising considering he used 34 different line-ups in his debut season.

It has been noted that the Bianconeri under Pirlo rely more on individual talents to get them out of trouble, seemingly showing no certainty over their tactics or style of football.

At the start, he had spoken of a ‘liquid’ tactical approach that would begin with three at the back and then move to four when losing possession.

Juventus risk paying over €40m in three years for sacked coaches Max Allegri and Maurizio Sarri.

The Bianconeri changed manager at the end of each of their last two seasons, despite that coach winning the Serie A title and still being under contract.

Allegri was dismissed in the summer of 2019 after five consecutive Scudetti and reaching the Champions League Final twice.

He still had a year to go on his contract and he took a Sabbatical while it ran down, continuing to pocket a full salary.

Andrea Pirlo was clearly emotionally exhausted after the comeback win over Udinese and praised the ‘determination and fight’ Juventus showed.

The Bianconeri again put in a frankly poor performance at the Dacia Arena, barely creating any chances after they were caught out on a quickly-taken free kick for Nahuel Molina’s goal.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t want to judge Andrea Pirlo but hopes Milan finish above Juventus this season.

The Bianconeri and the Rossoneri are in the race for a top-four finish and will meet at the Allianz Stadium next week in a crucial showdown for their Champions League hopes.

“It’s a nice race as it is here in England,” Ancelotti told Sky Sport.

The Italian has coached both Juventus and Milan in his career, but he is way more attached to the Rossoneri with whom he won eight titles, including two Champions Leagues.

Andrea Pirlo is ‘not concerned’ by debate on his Juventus future. ‘The team is fully aware this is a difficult moment,’ but he’s ‘not influenced’ by media speculation.

There are growing reports Max Allegri will return to Turin two years after he was sacked, as Maurizio Sarri and now Pirlo failed to maintain his standards.

Alvaro Morata is in doubt for tomorrow’s match with Udinese, confirms Andrea Pirlo, so Paulo Dybala will partner Cristiano Ronaldo for Juventus, while Federico Chiesa won't start.

Morata had been tipped to start, but Pirlo announced in his press conference that the Spaniard might not even make the trip.

John Elkann was reportedly at the Juventus training ground yesterday for a meeting with President Andrea Agnelli, but did not speak to the team.

The club is in turmoil after a series of poor results leave them genuinely at risk of missing out on the Champions League places.

There is also the spectre of possible UEFA punishment for their role in pushing the Super League.

According to multiple reports, Elkann was at the Continassa camp on Wednesday, a visit he makes typically four or five times a year.

SportMediaset claims Juventus have decided to re-appoint Massimiliano Allegri, even if Andrea Pirlo was to secure a place in the Champions League.

The Old Lady could bring Allegri back after two years and the uncertainty regarding Pirlo’s future at the Allianz Stadium is increasing.

The broadcaster has claimed the Old Lady have already decided and that Pirlo can’t save his job even with a Coppa Italia triumph and a place in the Champions League.

Max Allegri has been linked with a return to Juventus, and La Gazzetta dello Sport reports he wants the revolution he was denied two years ago.

Allegri left Juventus ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, but has since been linked with a return to the club, both when Maurizio Sarri picked up the ninth consecutive Scudetto and during Andrea Pirlo’s first season as a coach.

Inter are set to end Juventus’ domination in Serie A, but the Bianconeri even risk missing out on the Champions League after Pirlo’s turbulent year as head coach.

Igor Tudor could replace Andrea Pirlo if Juventus lose against Udinese, and according to reports in Italy, the relationship between them has collapsed.

Tudor, a former Udinese and Hajduk Split coach, joined Pirlo’s technical staff in the summer. Unlike the former midfielder and his assistant Roberto Baronio, the Croat had already had some coaching experience, which is one of the main reasons he was brought in.
