What They're Saying
Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner (via Football Italia): "Allegri is a great coach. Whilst also as a person, he has adapted quickly, knowing that it is not easy after three League titles to enter into an environment that is used to winning and has been for the last three years. For him, it certainly was not easy, but he has done very well and that can also be seen on the field in how we are playing."
"I see the future of Juventus as very good because I believe the club has a project," he added. "And so I believe that Juventus will continue to do well."
