Serie A: Winning Coppa Italia would end season in best way, says Juve coach Allegri

Juventus coach, Max Allegri has said victory in the Coppa Italia final would be a bonus from a frustrating season.

Juve meet Inter Milan tonight at the Stadio Olimpico.

Allegri said, “Of course, Finals are always important and we want to win tomorrow. Play with a three-man defence? Let’s see, the players on the pitch can adapt to both systems…

“The team had a bad start, but we reached an important result because playing the Champions League every season is crucial. We’ll try to improve things and be ready to start again from next season.

“You all know that seeing Ronaldo leave with only three days remaining in the summer transfer window wasn’t easy. I had to know the team as well. Then we lost Federico Chiesa. We faced a few difficult moments. On the other hand, we have improved and qualified for the Champions League Round of 16. The club helped us by signing Dusan Vlahovic in January, but our run was stopped against Inter last month.

“Now I know the players and the staff, I am sure that next season we’ll have more chances to win our main target, the Scudetto. It would be nice to win tomorrow, end the season in the best way and prepare for the next one.”
