"I'm staying 100% at Juve, but I can decide for me, not for others"

There are only three games to go in Serie A and Juventus have the chance to finish in second place in the domestic championship. They have a chance to consolidate their position against Empoli and Allegri is well aware of this, even though the Europa League semi-final exit against Sevilla is still reeling.

"The spirit must be that of a team that have to react to the defeat in the Europa League and the elimination. We have to hold on to 2nd place in the standings, as Juventus have finished 4th twice in recent years," said the coach.

On the other hand, Allegri spoke about his continuity despite the drought of titles this season: "I have a 2-year contract and I'm staying 100%, according to my decision. But I can decide for me, not for others. I spoke to the owners and expressed my feelings as I always do.

"I talk every day with Calvo and Scanavino. Talking about the future at this moment doesn't make sense, because we have three important games. Juve have to be in the top four, the ones that count for the Champions League. For an Italian team it is very important," he concluded.
