Juventus president Andrea Agnelli says coach Max Allegri won't be sacked after their Champions League defeat at Maccabi Haifa.
Agnelli spoke to the media after the dismal result.
“This is a difficult night in a difficult period. It is one of the most difficult periods and the moment to take responsibility, which is why I am here," said Agnelli.
“I feel ashamed for what is happening, I am angry, but I also know that football is played with 11 men, you lose and win with 11.
“In a situation like this, it's not about one person. It's a matter to be dealt with by a whole group. We feel ashamed, we apologise to our fans, because we know they must feel ashamed to walk around at the moment.
Asked if it was Allegri's hefty pay-off that was keeping him safe, Allegri was adamant: “No, no, you are completely off track here. It cannot be the fault of the coach if we don't win a single tackle on the field.
“Juventus have always evaluated situations at the end of the year. I always struggled to consider a dismissal during a season and I continue to believe that.
“This is a group of 80-90 people working here and we must rediscover our spirit, allowing the team to put its qualities onto the pitch."
