Juventus GM Marotta: Allegri commitment never doubted

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta insists coach Max Allegri has the board's total support.

Allegri penned a new deal last week.

“Sadness for a negative result naturally leads one to reflect, but I never doubted the rapport would continue," director general Marotta told the Corriere della Sera of their Champions League final defeat.

“In any case, Allegri never expressed his hesitation with us. It must've just been something he thought about that night.

“A Final does not sum up an entire season. The best team wins at the end of a domestic campaign, whereas many factors affect the Champions League result.

Real Madrid have the biggest revenue of all and won three Finals in four years. The only time they didn't get there and win the trophy was when we eliminated them in 2015.

“We can improve, but we're already in the top level of European football. With two Finals played in four years, we are Real Madrid's principle antagonists."
