Don’t panic: The story of Juventus and mastering transition
![]() |
Paul Pogba leaving Juventus at the peak of his powers defined the club’s biggest achilles heel over the last decade. And yet, it didn’t put a brake on their progress as a team. Art by Revant Dasgupta. |
The fiery former midfielder had brought success back to Juventus, winning three consecutive league titles in as many seasons as managers. So when he left the club was once again the leading one in Italy, status which allowed it the privilege to choose any top manager they wanted to replace him.
Which is what made the eventual choice of Massimiliano Allegri such an apparently ludicrous appointment. True, he had led AC Milan to a league title yet eventually he had become a figure of ridicule there. By the time he left, he was criticised for everything from his tactical inflexibility to the way in which he spoke.
His reputation lay in tatters. And yet, contrary to most, Juventus saw something in him.
