Juventus vice president Pavel Nedved believes the
club should be able to agree a contract renewal for
coach Massimiliano Allegri after another successful
campaign.
Having won the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia in
each of his first two seasons in charge, Allegri has
guided Juve to the top of the league table again,
while the Bianconeri are into the final of the
domestic cup and the semi-finals of the
Champions League, where they will take on
Monaco.
And Nedved was full of praise for the Juve coach
at the Champions League last-four draw on Friday,
insisting a new deal should be sorted without a
hitch, despite reported interest from Arsenal.
"We want him - he's doing well and, at the last
draw, I made clear that he's doing good work and
we're happy to continue with him," Nedved, a 2003
European finalist with Juve, told Mediaset
Premium.
"We want to continue with him and, on his part, he
has to be happy and convinced to continue with
Juve. We shouldn't have any problems [with a
renewal]."
After being drawn against Monaco, Nedved praised
his team's focus and expects them to progress at
the expense of the Ligue 1 leaders.
"We're up against a young side who run a lot and
have nothing to lose," he added. "When things are
like that, it's always difficult.
"But I've seen the lads focused and they did not
get carried away with their celebrations [after
beating Barcelona in the quarter-finals]. Their focus
is on going as far as possible, and I'm happy for
them.
#Nedved : "In the @ChampionsLeague ,
you need to be at your best throughout
each match. That's what we're looking to
do." #ItsTime #UCLdraw

"When you get this far, it's hard to pick your
preferred opponents. Difficulties lie everywhere and
you can't get even one half wrong, never mind a
full game.
"I just hope we are ready to fulfil our potential."
