Why Champions League qualification won't change Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus future

The Bianconeri are one step away from officially qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season

It's almost time to celebrate for Juventus as the Bianconeri are only three points away from officially clinching Champions League qualification for next season after drawing 1-1 at AS Roma on Sunday. However, the almost certain achievement won't change the future of coach Massimiliano Allegri, who is set to leave the club at the end of the current 2023-24 season, as per multiple reports. 

The Vecchia Signora started off strongly in the current season and were the only side to battle Inter for the title race until January when the Nerazzurri were able to sprint and leave the Bianconeri behind in the race. Despite some good results in the first part of the season, the performances of Allegri's team worsened, ending what was a promising start to the campaign. 

From January on, Juventus recorded 23 points in 17 games, less than all the teams that are currently fighting for a European spot for next season. Players like Dusan Vlahovic, who only scored one goal in the last seven games, or Federico Chiesa for instance, are the faces of this team right now but not in top form. However, Juve still have a chance at a trophy as they'll face Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final on May 15.
