Nedved raised the prospect of dismissing Allegri, however, after doing their sums, both Agnelli and Arrivabene ruled out such a move.
At the end of the meeting at Continassa, it was decided with the budget looming, the €21m needed to pay off Allegri and his staff would be politically too troublesome.
