World Cup winner Marco Tardelli has pulled apart Juventus in a column for La Stampa.
Tardelli has addressed Juve issues after this week’s defeat at Champions League opponents Maccabi Haifa.
He wrote: “Today’s column is dedicated to Juventus increasingly confused, disheartened, unable to find solutions both on and off the pitch. Indecisive about everything. Being ashamed or apologising to the fans is no use, one must have the courage to make decisions.
“Everyone is to blame, Allegri, the players, but above all the club. The president and managers, eager for quick and easy victories, have not understood that patience and foresight are needed to build a winning future.
“Glaring mistakes like the divorce from Beppe Marotta, recognised by the entire football world as one of the most enlightened managers. Envy, annoyance, fear of being overshadowed? We still haven’t understood why.
“Then there was the parenthesis of Sarri, certainly a great coach but totally unrelated to Bianconero thinking, up to Andrea Pirlo, a great player with little bench experience but who could have opened the door to a future certainly brighter than the one we are currently experiencing.
“Of course, you had to really believe in him, the inexperienced coach had to be accompanied, helped, reassured, but despite all this did not happen, he still won two trophies and achieved Champions League qualification, not bad for someone who had never sat on a bench.
“So the stroke of genius, let’s send him off, throwing away money and credibility.
“We know the present, the faces of the players at the end of the game in Israel we all saw, incredulous, scared with only one question in their bewildered eyes: ‘How do we get out of this?’ Whoever makes a mistake pays, but it doesn’t always have to be the coach.”
