Of course, the story ends with a title. But it ends badly for Massimiliano Allegri. The Juventus coach was fired by the club due to his behavior in the final of the Italian Cup, won against Atalanta Bergamo (1-0). The coach got angry after the refereeing. His midfielder Adrien Rabiot thanked him in a message published on the social network Instagram this Saturday.
“We will remember you as one of Juventus’ most successful coaches,” writes the French international (43 caps, 4 goals). You deserved another goodbye. Thank you for everything Sir and good luck for the future. »
After a first stint at Juventus between 2014 and 2019, Massimiliano Allegri returned to the club in 2021. In a press release published Friday by the club, the termination of his contract was made official: “The dismissal follows certain behavior during and after the final of the Italian Cup which the club deemed incompatible with the values of Juventus and with the behavior that those who represent it must adopt. »
The 56-year-old coach, after violently attacking the fourth referee during the final against Atalanta, was expelled. Not far from coming to blows, the Italian was beside himself. After the meeting he attacked the director of the sports daily Tuttosport, whom he insulted and, according to the Italian press, accused of not writing the truth in his newspaper.
