Juventus sack Massimilano Allegri! Manager fired after explosive rant following Coppa Italia win over Atalanta

Allegri's time at Juventus has come to an end with two games of the season still left to play. The Juventus boss has been fired and will leave the club with immediate effect. Bologna boss Thiago Motta is the favourite to take over from Allegri after an impressive season with the Serie A side.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The club have <a href="https://www.juventus.com/en/news/articles/official-massimiliano-allegri-no-longer-juventus-coach" target="_blank">confirmed</a> the news after releasing a statement, which 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."

WHAT JUVENTUS SAID

The statement referenced Allegri's behaviour in the Coppa Italia final against Atalanta on Wednesday. Juventus won the fixture 1-0 but Allegri was handed a two-match ban and a fine of $5400 (€5000/££4200) after losing his temper in stoppage time.The now-former Juventus boss ripped off his jacket and was sent off by the referee, where he then sarcastically applauded the decision.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Juventus still have two Serie A fixtures to play before the 2023/24 season comes to an end. The Old Lady will face Bologna on Monday (May 20) and Monza (May 26) in their final clash.As GOAL's Romeo Agresti can confirm, Juventus will appoint U19 coach Paolo Montero as their caretaker coach for these fixtures.Juventus currently occupies fourth in the league table after a disappointing campaign. A spot in the top four is not yet guaranteed, with Atalanta following closely just four points behind. They also have a game in hand on Juventus.
