Veteran Italian coach Delio Rossi has dismissed criticism of Juventus boss Max Allegri.

Rossi rejects claims Allegri's coaching is outdated after his struggles with the Bianconeri this season.

He told TMW Radio: "I think not, I do not understand why the good ideas two years ago today should no longer be.

"The team has changed, today it is older and in midfield I think they are behind the others.

"He doesn't even have a centre-forward: the central spine lacks those who make the difference."
