Juventus start to lose patience with Allegri

The critics have returned to Turin after Milan beat Juventus. The Old Lady have not gelled this season, and they are eight points off leaders Atalanta. Should the side from Bergamo win their game, they will extend their lead to 11.

That is why at the heart of Juventus' board, they are already talking about a possible exit for Massimiliano Allegri. And according to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', Juventus are starting to lose patience with the Italian manager and the idea of sacking him is common amongst the board members. 

And if that was not enough, Champions League qualification hopes hang by a thread, which is yet another reason to end his contract. For the moment, the manager has not been able to find the winning formula, and the only thing saving him from the axe is the expensive release clause. 

However, the possibility of missing out on the best European competition could prove to be a bigger problem than his costly release clause.
