Seria A: Juventus Must Focus On Avoiding Relegation - Allegri

Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri said the first objective of the club is to stay in Serie A after a 15-point sanction for fraudulent transfers.

The deduction, and three league matches without a win, have dropped Juventus from second in Serie A to 13th, 10 points above the relegation places.

Speaking in a press conference ahead of their Seria A clash against Salernitana, Allegri said: "At the moment we have 23 points. We need to reach 40 points to save ourselves. It may make you smile, but that's how it is. We must give ourselves mini-objectives and move forward one step at a time. First to catch the 12th team and then the other teams ahead of us," said Allegri, who also has an eye on two cup competitions. By doing this, we will win games. It will maintain a high intensity ahead of the Europa League and the Coppa Italia."

The Turin club has since announced an appeal to the Italian Olympic Committee.
