Official: Juventus part ways with Massimiliano Allegri

Juventus has sacked head coach Massimiliano Allegri, a few days after he led the Italian giants to their record 15th Coppa Italia trophy.

In a shocking turn of events, the club attributed his dismissal to his actions before and after Dušan Vlahović’s early strike gave them victory over Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday

“Juventus announces that it has relieved Massimiliano Allegri of his position as head coach of the men’s first team,” the club announced via its website.

“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.

“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.

Allegri began his second term as Juventus manager in the summer of 2021, having previously led the team from 2014 to 2019. During these eight seasons, he won five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia trophies, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles.
