Allegri could be sacked if eliminated against Nantes

The Europa League is not smiling on Juventus either. The Italian side drew 1-1 at home to Nantes and qualification for the next round is up in the air. This could be the last straw for coach Massimiliano Allegri.

The Italian is on the ropes after a poor run of form in Serie A, a lack of results and the 15-point deduction, although he is not to blame for that. Add to all that a likely European exit and he could be packing his bags to leave Turin.

According to information from 'Tuttosport' and 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', in the case of being out of Europe for the second time, the club would think about the short-term dismissal of a coach who is paid no more and no less than seven million euros a year.

The 'Vecchia Signora' are going through one of their worst moments in their history and elimination in the first round of Europe's second most important club competition would precipitate an exit that is already being talked about in Italy.
