Juventus sack Allegri after Italian Cup win
Juventus have sacked coach Massimilano Allegri, with immediate effect, just two matches before the 2023-2024 Serie A season comes to an end.
Juventus confirmed the sacking of Allegri on Friday in a statement just two days after he led the old lady of Turin to defeat Atalanta 1-0 to lift the Italian Cup in Rome.
The statement read, “Juventus announces that it has relieved Massimiliano Allegri of his position as head coach of the men’s first team.
“The exoneration follows certain behaviours during and after the Coppa Italia final that the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and the behaviour that those who represent it should have.
“It ends a period of collaboration, which began in 2014, restarted in 2021 and ended, after the previous three seasons together, with the Italian Cup final.
“The club wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future endeavours,” it said.
The referee had sent Allegri off for his rant at match officials during the game with Atlanta.
Meanwhile, coach of Bologna, Thiago Motta, is top on the list to take over from Allegri.
