Juventus boss Max Allegri allegedly communicated his departure from the club to the squad in three words.
Sport Mediaset reports how Allegri began by summoning Juve’s players, staff, physios, doctors and kit-men in the gym at 10:30 BST on Friday.
The broadcaster explains he first said, ‘Sunday will be Barzagli’s last match,’ referring to the defender’s impending retirement.
There would have been no rush to train due to it ‘pouring down’ outside.
It is claimed the Coach then muttered, ‘and mine too.’
Mediaset adds someone heard Cristiano Ronaldo reply, ‘we’ll play for him on Sunday,’ with the Bianconeri due to host Atalanta.
The match is a celebratory occasion for the Old Lady as they will be parading their eighth successive Scudetto.

Allegri on Cristiano Ronaldo: "He is stronger than the others on a mental level. He is able to set objectives on his own. He's won everything and at 34, you can't have more targets. But he's deadly in this aspect. He always has personal goals, clarity & an incredible nastiness."

I don't know why people blame Ronaldo for Dybala poor performance. It's simply Allegri's fault, that rockheaded manager makes him play as midfielder.

Dybala is struggling because Allegri isn’t playing him plain and simple. Juventus play better when both Dybala and Ronaldo are on the field but for some deluded reason Allegri chooses to not play them together.
