Tiktuknu: Summary of the day in sports, 11.10 (Sport1)

Juventus fell to a new low this evening (Tuesday), when they lost in Haifa 2:0 to Maccabi Haifa in the fourth round of the Champions League, and now the rumors about Massimiliano Allegri's future are coming back - and in a big way.

"Massimiliano is our head coach, and will remain so," emphasized president Andrea Agnelli a few minutes after the final whistle.

"It's a shame and a disgrace, I'm furious, but in this situation you can't blame just one person. It's the whole group. There are about 80-90 people here who need to find their identity again. This is a difficult night in a difficult period, one of the most difficult we've had, and it's time to take responsibility".

The president added: "It's shameful, we apologize to our fans, but Allegri is the coach and he will remain the coach. It's not the coach's fault that we didn't make even one good tackle today. Juventus always decided about their coaches at the end of the year, I don't like to fire coaches in the middle of the season and so on We will continue to act."

Juan Cuadardo also defended his coach: "Unfortunately, these things happen in football, we need to get out of it as quickly as possible. There is a fear that we will be kicked out of the Champions League, but we can get out of this situation if we are united. As long as there is a chance, we will continue to believe until the end and give 100 percent. The coach is doing everything to get us back on track, we are a team and it's more the players' fault. We need to give more, even the experienced players, and believe in ourselves more."

The pressure is increasing.

If that is not enough, then in the 24th minute, when Angel Di Maria caught his right thigh, he signaled to the bench that he could not continue, and was replaced by Arkadiusz Milik.

The 34-year-old midfielder who excelled in the previous meeting between the teams last week in Turin is sidelined and, of course, this is very bad news for the Argentina team as well.

Five weeks remain until the Albiceleste's opening game in the World Cup, against Saudi Arabia, and Di Maria's situation is currently unclear.

Let's remember that Paulo Dybala is also in great doubt for the World Cup, after he was injured in Roma's game on Sunday.

Di Maria has already suffered this season from two muscle injuries (stomach), which caused him to miss seven games in total.
