Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved denies snubbing Max Allegri's farewell media conference last week.

It's been suggested the pair have fallen out this season.

But Nedved insists: “I was not at Max's Press conference, but it's because I had another work commitment that couldn't be moved, so I was very sad to miss that.

“The club had to make a decision, we made it, I feel this era came to a natural end, without a specific reason. It was a very important cycle and I don't think it will ever be repeated again.

“Max won 11 trophies, almost everything we asked of him, so he deserves only praise and a great farewell. The same goes for Andrea Barzagli, as it is their celebration tonight.

“There was no one reason, this experience just came to a natural end. Each of us had to say what we felt inside and that's where we ended up.

“Juve need to win trophies, Max did that, so he did a great job."
