Former Juventus manager Luciano Moggi spoke about the current situation of the team and was very critical. He expressed that Allegri's side are not candidates to be league champions this year and will finish in fifth or sixth position. "They will fight to qualify for the Champions League," he said.

Juventus made a disastrous start to the season. Allegri's side have yet to win a game in Serie A and their only victory came in the first game of this Champions League against Malmö by 0-3. This Wednesday, the 'Bianconeri' will face Spezia and next Sunday, Sampdoria.

The Italian side will try to string together wins to get closer to the top of the table. Luciano Moggi, former manager of the club, said that they are not candidates to win the 'Scudetto' and was blunt in 'SerieANews.com' about the future of the team this season.

"They will end up fifth or sixth. They will fight to qualify for the Champions League, but anyone who thinks they can win the title is wrong". He also pointed out that his favourite team is Inter and praised the figure of their coach, Simone Inzaghi: "He is a great coach and he has found a very good team.

Lastly, the former manager explained that Juve are going through this bad patch due to the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. "Allegri was signed to rebuild the squad. He knows what he came for, and the club knows what they called him in for".
