The "Juventus" team is just a step away from failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.

The Italian giants suffered a defeat on Tuesday to Haifa's "Maccabi" team and after four rounds have only three points.

Despite the period of failures, "Juventus" coach Massimiliano Allegri is not considering resigning.

"I am definitely not ready to resign. I see this situation as a challenge. It is more interesting to work when the situation is so difficult," - M. Allegri said after Tuesday's match.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano also reports that the management of "Juventus" will not rush to fire the coach.
