Juventus Sack Manager Massimiliano Allegri
Allegri's Sacking Comes Amid Poor Recent Form and Controversial Behavior
Juventus have fired manager Massimiliano Allegri after just one season back at the club. The decision was announced on Tuesday following a meeting of the club's board of directors.
Allegri's sacking comes after a disappointing season for Juventus, who finished fourth in Serie A and were knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16. The team also lost the Supercoppa Italiana to AC Milan.
Allegri had been under pressure for several months, with his team's poor form and his own controversial behavior drawing criticism. In December, he was involved in a heated exchange with referee Gianluca Rocchi during a Serie A match against Atalanta. He was also fined for making critical comments about the refereeing in the aftermath of the match.
Allegri's sacking is a significant development for Juventus, who have been one of the most dominant teams in Italian football in recent years. The club has won eight Serie A titles in the past nine seasons, but their recent form has been disappointing.
It remains to be seen who will replace Allegri at Juventus. The club has been linked with a number of managers, including former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
