Juventus have part way with manager Massimiliano Allegri after his explosive rant following the Old Lady Coppa Italia win over Atlanta.
Massimilano Allegri has been rumoured to be on his way out of the club at the end of the season but things changed with two games 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.

Juventus released the following statement.
“Juventus announces that it has relieved Massimiliano Allegri of his role as coach of the men’s first team. The dismissal follows certain behaviors during and after the Italian Cup final which the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and with what those who represent it must behave. A period of collaboration ends, which began in 2014, restarted in 2021 and ended after the last 3 seasons together with the Coppa Italia Final. The club wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future projects.”
Allegri was spotted during the Coppa Italia celebrations having a verbal altercation with Juventus sport director Cristiano Giuntoli, despite denying the allegations during the post-game interview to Mediaset.
According to Italian agency LaPresse, Allegri also lashed out at a federal prosecutor and kicked out, irreparably damaging lights on a set. Juventus then inquired about reimbursement for the damages, according to the same agency.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport director Guido Vaciago also accused Allegri of confronting him . Allegri coached Juventus from 2014 to 2019 and again from 2021 to 2024.
