Paolo Montero’s promotion to the first team will be official tomorrow. The coach is currently in Frosinone, where the Primavera team will play their final league match tomorrow morning. Montero won’t be on the sidelines due to a suspension. Allegri’s dismissal also extends to most of his staff, with Magnanelli and Padoin taking charge of training for now. Montero is expected to bring a youthful energy rather than major tactical changes. The Primavera team has followed the same 3-5-2 formation as the senior team and Next Gen, enabling a seamless transition for players called up to the first team.
In the upcoming matches against Bologna and Monza, which may seem inconsequential in terms of season goals but are crucial for finishing in third place, Montero’s focus will be on maintaining team discipline and reminding players of the responsibility of representing Juventus. The final 180 minutes of the season could provide an opportunity for lesser-used players to shine, like Djalò, Alcaraz, Yildiz, Iling, and Miretti. The hope is for a rejuvenated squad displaying the spirit seen in the recent victorious performance against Roma in the Coppa Italia, ideally with key players in action.
As the season draws to a close, there is an expectation for Juventus to exhibit a more vibrant and spirited style of play, in contrast to recent lackluster performances. Both club management and fans are hopeful for a strong finish, reminiscent of the winning mentality displayed in the Cup match against Roma. The goal is to end the season on a high note and build momentum for the next campaign, with Montero’s leadership bringing a fresh perspective to rejuvenate the team.
