Massimiliano Allegri, until this Friday Juventus coach, has been fired by the Turin club due to his behavior in the Italian Cup final, in which his team ended up lifting the title against Atalanta thanks to a goal from Vlahovic (1-0). A decision that comes with two days left before the league championship ends. Paolo Montero, the coach of the reserve team, will sit on the Turin bench until the end of the season.
«The dismissal is due to certain behaviors during and after the Italian Cup final “which the club considered incompatible with the values of Juventus and with the behavior that those who represent it must adopt,” explained the Turin club in the statement made public this Friday.
Allegri was sent off in extra time of the second half for confronting the lineman in a bad manner and shouting after an attacking play by Atalanta. Before leaving the field, the coach ironically applauded that expulsion, took off his jacket and tie, throwing the clothes forcefully onto the grass, took off his shirt and was defiant with a section of the stands. He finally retreated to the locker room while he gesticulated and shouted, beside himself.
He then returned to the grass to celebrate the victory with his players. He then directed his anger towards the Juventus sporting directorCristiano Guintoli, gesturing towards him and apparently telling him to stay away from the celebrations.

The coach’s warm-up continued after the game, according to ‘Tuttosport’. This medium claimed that Allegri threatened his director in the vicinity of the press room at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
“The company wishes Massimiliano Allegri good luck in his future projects,” Juve says in its statement.
