“Italian football remains one of the best in the world and recently many young talents have emerged too,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“As for my future, how can I confirm something that doesn’t exist or deny something I never said? I have a contract with Juventus, I am happy, as I’ve always said we have a season to complete and at the right time we’ll sit down with the club to discuss our plans.”

Tomorrow will be Allegri’s 100th game for Juventus and he has the best win ratio of all.

“I never thought about it because I am not interested in records, but in winning the Scudetto and going all the way in the Champions League.

“I hope there are another 300 or 400 games, as I am happy at Juventus. I always said that if I were to leave, Juve would be the first to know.”

Juventus beat Inter 1-0 with a Juan Cuadrado scorcher last Sunday, but the week’s headlines have been dominated by accusations of refereeing bias and an exchange of barbed comments.

“After a week it is right to stop talking about this controversy. I’ll just say that Juventus deservedly won the match, I continue to maintain Inter are a good side who fortunately for us had a bad start to the season, otherwise they’d be challenging for the Scudetto.”

Juventus patron John Elkann stirred up the situation further by declaring Inter ought to be used to losing by now. Was that over the line?

“I do not comment on what other people say. I will just note that a week after the game, it’d be silly and pointless to continue stirring up controversy. On Sunday Juve won deservedly, but Inter remain a very strong team. In football you win, lose or draw, but it was a great evening of sport and I think Inter ought to look to the future with positivity.”

Claudio Marchisio could potentially return to the starting XI after a back problem.

“He trained with the team yesterday and did well. I will evaluate him, Sami Khedira, Miralem Pjanic got a knock, Tomas Rincon did well and Stefano Sturaro is in good shape.

“There will be some changes, certainly. Cagliari are a fast-paced side who got excellent results at home, so it is an important match for us.

“I have decisions to make in midfield and in the attack, but Alex Sandro, Giorgio Chiellini, Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Cuadrado will start. Andrea Barzagli is out for a few days, but hope to have him back against Palermo next Friday.

“On the left it’s a choice between Mario Mandzukic, Marko Pjaca and Stefano Sturaro. Gigi Buffon plays tomorrow, then we’ll see next week what I decide. Neto is in good shape and a great goalkeeper, so if I were to rest Buffon, he’d be reliable.

“This season we’re yet to enjoy five consecutive victories, so that is the target for tomorrow. It’s our second consecutive away fixture and those are never easy. We want to reach the final push this season with a full squad at our disposal.”

Allegri is on Chelsea's radar but he wants to remain at Juve & reopen a new cycle. His Juve cycle won't be ending like his Milan one.

Corsera meanwhile report that it could also be the end of Allegri's tenure at Juventus. The Tuscan Coach is reflecting on his future.

Success against Sampdoria to leave behind the bitterness of the elimination from the Champions League, Juventus have taken an important step forward: they now lead Napoli by 6 points at the top of the table.

"We were very lucid and it was not easy against a team that plays well. If you do not play a defensively careful match, there are big risks. The guys were good at interpreting the match. The substitution and good performance of Douglas Costa? Thank Pjanic who came off with an injury. He was decisive for the match", the words of Allegri at Sky Sports.

The Juventus coach added: "Happy for being up 6 points on Napoli? We must go to Crotone and win, and then prepare for the direct match against Napoli. The championship is long and we have two important matches against Roma and Inter as well. This will be an important week for the championship and you have to play with serenity. The boys are doing well - I train an extraordinary group. Everyone has a common goal (to win the seventh Scudetto in a row), which can truly be a unique thing," added Allegri.

A commentary on the disappointment of the Bernabeu is inevitable: "It was a delicate moment, for two days we vented in Vinovo where we were talking about the final situation. Then from Saturday, the team put their heads on the field again. What the boys understood is that in the end you had to be more careful on taking side-fouls when there are 30 seconds left. Perhaps we could have even not gotten to that moment where there was a cross that lead to the penalty. The applause of the public despite the elimination? At the beginning, the stadium applauded, the boxes turned around to me because we came out like that and scored 3 goals".

Allegri who then spoke about his future: "How long do I still want to train these guys? For a long time. They have misrepresented my words. Every year we talk with the company, the coach is evaluated for the results. I am in full harmony with society, there is a great professional and human relationship. Maybe the roads in the future will be divided, but not at the human level. Since I'm at Juventus I can take a holiday, because during the market months they always bring me good things", concluded Allegri.
