The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 152: The 2022-23 season is finally over

The first weekend of June saw Juventus produce one final win but fall short of getting into the Europa League, ending a season in which a whole lot has happened — and not much of it very good.

On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

• Takeaways from the week that was — including how disappointing it was to not see the unwritten tradition of Carlo Pinsoglio end-of-season appearance not happen again, how Federico Chiesa showed some positives to close out the season, and a special shoutout to the Juventus women who beat Roma in the Coppa Italia Femminile.
• Juventus’ season ended with a whimper rather than some good news and a spot in the Europa League.
• So, who’s excited about the Conference League? (Until UEFA probably says otherwise.)
• There is still very much a big managerial elephant in the room to try and decide upon because there’s some big decisions and like big-name player’s futures to figure out.
• Hiring a sporting director as soon as possible would also help Juventus starting its rebuild this summer.
• Twitter questions — including one word to describe the 2022-23 season, what the “ideal” offseason would look like this summer, who will be the biggest departure this summer and if we truly believe Max Allegri is staying or going.
