Juventus crisis cements Allegri’s position as coach

Associated Press  

MILAN — One important person stands to potentially benefit from the latest Juventus scandal that has sent shockwaves throughout the soccer world. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri’s job was seemingly at risk less than two months ago, with the club struggling on the field, but the Bianconeri’s off-the-field problems could give him more power at the storied Italian club. Juventus is back in crisis mode following the resignation of club president Andrea Agnelli and the team’s entire board of directors on Monday following an investigation by Turin prosecutors into alleged false accounting. “Massimiliano Allegri remains the point of reference of Juventus’ sporting area,” club owner John Elkann said. While sports authorities initially dropped their inquiry into Juventus’ alleged false accounting, the Italian soccer federation prosecutor has since requested documentation from the Turin authorities leading the investigation — meaning that Juventus could risk a huge fine or even being penalized points in Serie A.
